点评:I've seen a few hot springs, but I really enjoyed this site. It's not far from the main highway, 395, and you can actually hike down to/ among the hot springs which I did not expect.
The hike down is really a walk along a cement path with a wooden railing that allows you to view the small site from above. It takes maybe 10 min to walk down and 15 or 20 to walk back up.
At the bottom, you can walk right up to the creek's edge, as well as various shallow pools. You can't touch the water because it is scalding. (This is not the site for soaking in the pools. That site is Wild Willly's, further up the road, with a few shallow warm "pools" to sit in.)
Here, when you walk around the pools, you can see the steam rising from them. Farther along the creek, the dirt bank rises and you encounter a rock hole with bubbling, boiling hot water that spurts up and splashes on the surrounding rock. You actually hear it before you see it. Very cool.
Maintain a safe distance, naturally. Know that there are no railings or barricades down below. There isn't even an official path. No park ranger was present. Therefore, keep your kids close and warn them ahead of time not to go near the springs and pools.
Tip:
Go at sunset for some beautiful pics. The park closes at 7pm. In October, we visited from 6:15 to 7pm, and caught some pics of a bright full moon as we left.
*EVERY site in this area is a magical place to visit at sunset and sunrise, so be sure to plan to be somewhere beautiful at those times.
翻译:我看过几个温泉,但我真的很喜欢这个网站。它离主要高速公路 395 不远,你实际上可以徒步到我没想到的温泉。
下山实际上是沿着带有木栏杆的水泥小路步行,让您可以从上方观看小场地。向下走可能需要 10 分钟,而向上走可能需要 15 或 20 分钟。
在底部,您可以一直走到小溪的边缘,以及各种浅水池。你不能碰水,因为它很烫。 (这不是泡在游泳池里的地方。那个地方是 Wild Willly's,在路的更远一点,有几个浅而温暖的“池子”可以坐在里面。)
在这里,当您绕着水池走动时,您可以看到水蒸气从水池中升腾而起。沿着小溪往前走,土堤开始上升,您会遇到一个石洞,里面冒着沸腾的热水,喷溅在周围的岩石上。在你看到它之前,你实际上听到了它。很酷。
自然而然地保持安全距离。要知道下方没有栏杆或路障。甚至没有官方路径。没有公园管理员在场。因此,请让您的孩子靠近并提前警告他们不要靠近泉水和游泳池。
提示:
日落时去拍一些美丽的照片。公园晚上 7 点关门。 10 月,我们从下午 6 点 15 分到晚上 7 点参观,并在离开时拍了一些明亮的满月照片。
*该地区的每个地点都是日落和日出时参观的神奇之地,因此请务必计划在那些时间美丽的地方。
