点评:We took at trip to Valley of Fire during a recent trip to Las Vegas. While less than an hour outside of downtown, do note that gas stations and eateries options diminish rapidly just outside the city limits, and there is no gas and little food available in the park itself (I believe your only option is the visitor center gift shop).
The entry fee is per vehicle, $10 for Nevada plates, $15 for out of state, payable at the ranger station at either end of the park.
The park is basically an inverted T, with entrances at either end of the line, and a long offshoot headed north that dead ends at the White Domes.
It’s Nevada, so come prepared with water and sunscreen, especially in spring/summer/fall.
The visitor center is located where the two main roads converge, and is worth a stop. There are several interesting exhibits that tie the experience up together and explain what you’re seeing elsewhere, and the rangers are there to make suggestions on the best use of your available time. They have cards printed with suggestions for what to do if you have a half day or a full day to spend in the park.
There are a number of hikes available, with different lengths and difficulty. Many involve walking through sand, so be prepared! We checked out the Cabins and the petroglyphs, both worth a stop and a hike.
翻译:我们最近去拉斯维加斯的时候去了一趟火焰谷。虽然距离市中心不到一小时车程,但要注意,市区外加油站和餐馆的选择会迅速减少,公园里也没有加油站,也几乎没有食物(我想你唯一的选择是游客中心的礼品店)。
入场费按车辆计算,内华达州牌照车辆10美元,外州车辆15美元,可在公园两端的护林站支付。
公园基本上是一个倒T形,入口位于线路两端,还有一条长长的北向分支,尽头是白色圆顶。
这是内华达州,所以一定要带上水和防晒霜,尤其是在春夏秋三季。
游客中心位于两条主要道路的交汇处,值得一去。那里有几个有趣的展览,将整个体验串联起来,并解释你在其他地方看到的东西。护林员也会在那里提供建议,帮助你更好地利用你的时间。如果你有半天或一整天的时间在公园里游玩,他们会印上一些建议卡片。
公园里有多条徒步路线可供选择,长度和难度各不相同。很多路线都需要在沙地上行走,所以要做好准备!我们参观了小木屋和岩画,都值得停下来徒步游览。
