点评:There is an easier lava tube hike and a more difficult one. We did the easier one. I highly recommend it. The Lower tube was ~3/4 of a mile. It’s cool. 42 degrees to be exact. It’s damp too. Definitely dress of damp cool weather. I recommend hiking boots because the surface is damp, rocky & uneven. I also recommend renting the lanterns at the entrance. They’re excellent and have various levels of brightness which you can adjust on your own.
This is a worthwhile adventure. The story of the discovery of the lava tube is interesting. The entrance to the cave is beautiful.
The inside of the tube is fascinating. It was fun to see the inside of these magma tubes in the context of having spent the previous few days hiking to viewpoints of Mt St Helens and Mt Adams.
Although we didn’t go with kids, I think this would be fun for kids 5 & older.
You have to go online and purchase a $2 timed ticket for your car. Do that at least a day in advance.
Have fun!
翻译:熔岩管徒步路线有两种,一种比较容易,一种比较难。我们选择了容易的那一种,强烈推荐。下层熔岩管大约有四分之三英里(约1.9公里)。那里很凉爽,确切地说是42华氏度(约4.2摄氏度)。而且很潮湿。一定要穿适合潮湿凉爽天气的衣服。我建议穿登山靴,因为地面潮湿、多岩石且凹凸不平。我还建议在入口处租借提灯。它们非常棒,而且有各种亮度,你可以自行调节。
这是一次值得的冒险。发现熔岩管的故事很有趣。洞穴入口很漂亮。
熔岩管的内部令人着迷。考虑到前几天我们徒步去了圣海伦斯山和亚当斯山的观景点,看到这些岩浆管的内部真是太有趣了。
虽然我们没有带孩子去,但我觉得5岁以上的孩子应该会很喜欢。
你需要上网购买2美元的限时车票。至少提前一天做好这件事。
玩得开心!
