In this review, I shall share a few views of mine by English and Chinese about my third time of visiting the Amethyst cove. Before we start, I have to warn that for your own safety matter, I would not suggest hiker with potential heart problems or high blood pressure issues. If it is possible , never stay alone in this area, accompany with 2 or 3 partners shall be the best. Along the hiking trail, I'd witnessed some elks, and you might hear from local media 5 or 6 years ago, coyote was witnessed for attacking dogs in breeding season. The hiking trail is generally great, though trailmarks are not so obvious than previous years, the trail is still there, but you must find the way to pass through those soaked lands and dead woods. Bug net is necessary, particular in summer time, blackflies are notorious . The hiking trail is located on a hill within 70 degree slope, please be careful on what you are standing on, mud, dirt and gravels are pretty much loose, very easy falling nearby when you are moving downward. Calm down when you are on the trail, always trying to find the strong point to hold your weight, while do not rely on the rope totally, put your all weight on the rope is dangerous and will bring you fatigue on your upper limbs, to save your energy, please rely on your standing points rather the rope. Weather, weather conditions are pretty much the first thing before you start the journey. BE AWARE, weather is changing rapidly in Bay of Fundy. Fogs occasionally (often) appear on this trail, just checking out if there is any "aggressively looking " cloud is about falling or moving towards the north mountain highland park before you start your hiking, if so just go visit amethyst cove next time, or alter your plan to the main trail of cape split provincial park is much better than challenging yourselves under such weather conditions on Amethyst cove trail. Tides are not always an issue to talk about, usually in summer the highest tide may reach the lowest timberline near the cliff around 4 PM in this season (please check the tide information), then manage your time while hiking and climbing. On the beach, landscapes were changed a lot since 2018, my first time to this beach. The waterfall disappeared due to a debris flow probably early of this year or late last year, typically if you go there to collect some rock samples, it is always a great place to do so. Agate, quartz, Chabazite, mordenite, etc, you may find them everywhere, enjoy your rock collecting. At last, I shall say this, this trail is generally good, it does have potential hazardous and safety concerns during the hiking, so do not stay alone on this trail for any purposes and keep 10 or 15 meter distance between you and your partners on that 70 degree slope, the continuous eroding cliffs generated bunch of gravels and loosing dirts, always find the strongest outcrops (or living roots) to standing on. The rope are just assistant points while climbing downward or upward, always rely on your lower limbs power. Carry enough water (at least 2L) is necessary, simple lunch is needed, for safety concerns, helmets, carabiners, gloves and bug nets are suggested. And be careful your every step, then go enjoy your challenges on this hiking trail. 我不曾想过这是我第3次去爬Amethyst cove, 在开始分享我的经历前，请高血压、心脏病者慎行！这条路线是彻彻底底的登山路线 对于体力的透支极大 大约需要4个小时来回 需要自备防滑手套 天气炎热尽量带足2L水！登山路线落石非常多 可能需要自备安全头盔 必须结伴而行 不可以带小孩子！一定不可以！ 前半程与cape split 主要山道路况一致 沿着红色标记行进 一定不要偏离路线 山上有野生动物 我自己有看到一小群鹿和超大只野兔 脸书里有人说碰到过郊狼袭击宠物狗的事情 （不过已经快要有5、6年了）所以即使看见了也别接近、也不要尝试别触碰和喂食任何野生动物。登山路线后半程 是超过70度的陡坡 垂直高度约170米 从山顶下到海滩 大约需要1个小时 如果你是结伴而行 一定要间隔足够的距离下山 否则系在树干上的绳子可能无法支撑2-3人同时使用时的重量 山路极为陡峭 碎石极多 请注意脚下 合理分配体力 第一次使用绳索攀爬的人 请注意节奏 不要过分依赖上肢力量 上下山时不要跨过绳索 一旦跌倒 腹股沟很容易受伤 将身子尽量放低 注意踩住稳固的支撑点 然后上肢交替在胸前扶住绳索即可 一点点下山 下到海滩以后你就算是成功一半了 回去的一半极为消耗体力 作为同伴一定要等等你的朋友 登山路线中间有一块较为平坦的地方可以休息一下 相互支持下 一定可以挑战这条路线的成功 原来算是地标性质的瀑布因为山体滑坡消失了 算是一些遗憾了 Amethyst cove, 毕竟是被冠以紫水晶海滩，紫水晶你能找到很多，大量的玛瑙原石可以找到，还是很不错的，最后祝你的行程顺利 注意安全
