对于居住在内陆帝国地区的人们来说，鲁比杜山 (Mt. Rubidoux) 是一个绝佳的锻炼和亲近自然的好去处。这条徒步路线几乎适合所有人，因为登顶之路短而轻松（大部分路段都铺设了路面），而且山顶的壮丽景色会给你带来满满的成就感。沿途你会看到许多河滨市的历史地标，例如和平桥、美国国旗，以及山顶的十字架。我曾多次攀登鲁比杜山，每次都非常喜欢登上山顶俯瞰城市美景。如果你也想去看看，这里有所有相关信息。
细节
- 主徒步路线往返2.5英里，但还有许多更长或更短的步道可供选择。
- 为了方便停车，请将车停在瑞安·博尼米诺停车场。
历史
以下是关于这座山的一些历史：
1906年，米申旅馆的老板弗兰克·米勒与亨利·E·亨廷顿和查尔斯·M·洛林共同成立了亨廷顿公园协会，并购买了这片土地，旨在修建一条通往山顶的道路，并将这座山开发成公园，造福河滨市。公园最初名为亨廷顿公园，但在1955年弗兰克·米勒的继承人将土地捐赠给市政府后，更名为弗兰克·A·米勒鲁比杜山纪念公园。1925年12月13日，为纪念米勒而建的和平纪念碑落成。桥是西班牙阿尔坎塔拉一座著名桥梁的复制品。包括道路在内的初步建设于1907年2月完成。山上第一座纪念碑——山顶上的十字架和石碑，是为了纪念胡尼佩罗·塞拉神父而建——于1907年4月26日落成。
上面的照片是我最喜欢的照片之一，因为它展现了这座山悠久的历史。复活节日出礼拜是美国历史最悠久的户外礼拜活动，我去过几次，每次都是庆祝复活节的绝佳方式。
哪里可以停车
The best thing about Mt Rubidoux is that there are many different trails up the mountain. No matter which way you approach it, there is sure to be a path. That being said, you need to pay careful attention to parking when you are at the mountain. Recent laws in the city have set up specific parking areas and sides of the street that are resident parking only, so make sure to read the signs when looking for somewhere to park.
Since they have now completed the Ryan Bonaminio Park I believe that is the best place to park for the mountain. The address for this park is 5000 Tequesquite Ave, Riverside, CA 92506, and it has a lot of parking spaces. It has easy access to the mountain, as you just head up the street about a quarter-mile from the parking lot, and you will reach the start of the trail.
The Trail
The trail is easy to find as it is a paved road all the way up. There are a couple of them, so you have to choose which length you are in the mood for when you go. There is a long way that is around two and a half miles, a shorter way that is around one mile and a backside way that is less than a mile but pretty much straight up the whole time. If it is your first time, I would suggest taking the long way as you will get to take in all the sites and see the famous Peace Bridge that was mentioned above. It is a beautiful hike that takes you around many different plants and flowers, huge boulders that you can climb, and even the historical markers on the mountain. Plan for about an hour to an hour and a half to complete the less than 3 miles as you will want to spend some time on the summit.
The Peace Bridge
The Peace Bridge was built in 1925 by the city of Riverside to commemorate the work that was done by Frank Miller and his family while they were away on travel. It was dedicated when they returned, and a plaque was created that said:
“Peace with Justice for all men. Anno Domini 1925. This bridge
was built by neighbors and friends of Frank Augustus Miller in
recognition of his constant labor in the promotion of civic beauty,
community righteousness, and world peace.”
It is a beautiful bridge that adds to the uniqueness of this trail. Great for photoshoots or to admire while making your way to the top.
The Summit
On the summit of Mt Rubidoux, you will find many different things to explore. I have never been up there when there was not at least 10 to 15 other people hanging out on top. The cross, which is the highlight of the mountain, is so big it can be seen from the freeway, and it alone is worth the hike.
This is an especially beautiful area to watch the sunset as you can get a great view if it is clear. To head down from the mountain, simply go back the way that you came.
Easter Sunrise Service
复活节日出礼拜是美国历史最悠久的礼拜活动，至今已超过一个世纪。每年，人们都会在夜幕降临后步行登上山顶，观看城市日出，聆听讲道。我曾多次参加，每次都非常享受。
如果你打算这样做，请计划至少在日出前30分钟出发（通常是早上6点），这样你才有机会爬上山，找到一个好位置。不过，为了占据最佳观景点，人们通常会更早到达。观景过程大约持续一个小时，你可以在这里了解更多信息。
烟花
最后，鲁比杜山是每年里弗赛德市七月四日烟花表演的举办地。当天整座山都会关闭，人们聚集在山下的公园里观看从山顶燃放的烟花。如果你在每年的这个时候正好在附近，那一定非常有趣。
这座山对于初次徒步者以及想要带朋友探索内陆帝国地区一处绝佳去处的人来说，都是一次绝佳的体验。我曾多次攀登这座山，每次都能发现之前未曾见过的景色。如果您在附近，一定要抽出时间去鲁比杜山 (Mt Rubidoux) 走一走，相信您一定会爱上它，并想再次攀登。
