点评:We, a couple age 64 and 74, visited Joshua National Park on October 22nd (late afternoon and evening) and 23rd (full day). We stopped at the visitor’s center at Joshua Tree and 29 Palms. While both centers are small, the staff was very helpful, especially considering our visit was during the Government Shutdown. I strongly recommend talking to the staff and picking up a map of the park.
During our visit we stopped at Key View, Skull Rock, Cap Rock, and Cholla Cactus Garden. I would recommend stopping at each of these locations. We watched climbers at Intersection Rock, very interesting. We pulled into a couple of the campgrounds (Belle and Hidden Valley) and found the scenery at the campgrounds stunning. Since October 21 was a new moon, we did some star gazing in the night.
We did the following short hikes: Hidden Valley, Barker Dam, Arch Rock, Heart Rock, and a small portion of the Panorama Trail. Hidden Valley and Barker Dam are great trails, with very little elevation gain.
I had wanted to visit 49 Palms and the Mara Oasis but these were closed due to storm damage and this was clearly communicated on the National Park Website.
There is no restaurants or gas stations within the Park boundaries.
Joshua Tree National Park offers a unique landscape and plant life. We enjoyed our visit to the park and felt our 1.5 days was a perfect amount of time in the park.
翻译:我们一对年龄分别为64岁和74岁的夫妇,于10月22日(傍晚和晚上)和23日(全天)游览了约书亚国家公园。我们在约书亚树和二十九棕榈的游客中心停留。虽然这两个中心规模都不大,但工作人员非常乐于助人,尤其是在我们前往期间正值政府关门期间。我强烈建议您与工作人员沟通并索取公园地图。
游览期间,我们在Key View、Skull Rock、Cap Rock和Cholla Cactus Garden停留。我建议您在这些地方都停留一下。我们在Intersection Rock观看了攀岩者,非常有趣。我们去了几个营地(Belle和Hidden Valley),发现营地的景色令人叹为观止。由于10月21日是新月,我们在晚上观星。
我们进行了以下短途徒步:Hidden Valley、Barker Dam、Arch Rock、Heart Rock以及一小段全景步道。隐谷和巴克大坝是很棒的步道,海拔几乎没有上升。
我本来想去参观49棕榈树和马拉绿洲,但由于风暴破坏,这两个地方都关闭了,国家公园网站上也明确告知了这一点。
公园内没有餐厅或加油站。
约书亚树国家公园拥有独特的景观和丰富的植物资源。我们很享受这次公园之旅,觉得1.5天的游玩时间非常完美。
