Really impressive! Unique, and not crowded
Craters of the Moon National Monument的点评
点评:We drove around two hours from Mountain Home to visit this interesting monument. It was definitely worth the drive!
We stopped first at the visitors center for a map of the park and restrooms. We then drove the loop road, stopping at all the stops marked on the map. Most of the stops have easy and short hikes, usually on paved trails.
I was a bit leery doing the short but steep Inferno Cone hike (I’m extremely out of shape), but I’m so glad I did! The views are incredible. I walked up slowly and took frequent breaks. Downhill was much easier. The crushed volcanic rock provides great traction, so you don’t have to worry much about slipping. You can see 360 degrees from the top.
We did not explore the caves, although I did walk out to them. There isn’t much to see from the outside. But it is really neat to walk through the lava fields .
翻译:我们从山家山出发,驱车约两小时,来到这座有趣的纪念碑。绝对值得!
我们先在游客中心停下来,拿了一张公园和洗手间的地图。然后我们沿着环路行驶,在地图上标注的所有站点都停了下来。大多数站点都有轻松短途的徒步路线,通常是铺好的小路。
我有点担心要去徒步攀登那段短途但陡峭的地狱锥(我的身体状况非常糟糕),但我很高兴我去了!那里的景色美极了。我慢慢地往上走,经常休息。下坡就容易多了。碎火山岩的抓地力很强,所以你不必太担心滑倒。从山顶可以360度俯瞰。
我们没有去探索洞穴,虽然我走到了外面。从外面看没什么可看的。不过,穿过熔岩原的感觉真的很棒。
