点评:Where does one begin? From visiting the S. W. Ma-ha-wah-nee Visitors
Center to venturing toward the deep gray Cinder Cone peak (actually a tall hill), this remote national park in northern California I found extremely unique. And it still had snow in parts of it the first week in June!
The Manzanita and Butte Lakes were so colorful I'd have to call them pretty, along with the reddish "snow plant" wildflower I found at the Lily Pond, and a Stellar Jay had a nest up in the eaves in the first visitors' center I saw. This had been called "little Yellowstone" because it has steaming pools, but it also has extinct volcanoes (!), the highest one Lassen Peak itself. There are also many trails, falls, places to swim or fish here. It has dealt with fires too, in spite of having snow! We stayed at a cabin with a punch-in code-- make sure you get that code in advance!
翻译:从哪里开始呢?从参观西南马哈瓦尼游客中心,到向深灰色的煤渣锥峰(实际上是一座高山)进发,我发现这个位于加州北部的偏远国家公园格外独特。而且,六月的第一周,部分地区仍有积雪!
曼萨尼塔湖和巴特湖色彩斑斓,我不得不说它们美极了。我在百合池边发现了一朵红色的“雪生草”,在我看到的第一个游客中心,一只冠蓝鸦在屋檐下筑巢。这里被称为“小黄石”,因为它有热气腾腾的池子,但也有死火山(!),最高的就是拉森峰本身。这里还有许多小径、瀑布、游泳或钓鱼的地方。尽管积雪皑皑,但这里也曾发生过火灾!我们住在一个需要密码的小木屋里——一定要提前获取密码!
