点评:Cool experience to visit a volcano. Seeing lava is rare, mostly barren volcanic floor and steam. Bypass the visitors center and save time. Head to the last stop #1 for best view, stop at steam vents location and head to lava tubes. Parking at lava tube is minimal but worth checking for spots before returning to overflow. Overflow is a walk (5 minutes) which doesn’t seem bad but the extra steps add up if you are going to try to make it to crater floor.
Lava tube is easy walk and cool to see. Dark and not well lit so break out you phone flashlight to avoid puddles and soaking your shoes. Took about 15 minutes.
The guide suggests the best way to see the floor was across from the lava tubes. This path was a moderate/difficult hike down over 1 mile to the floor and hike back up. Felt like 20 min down and 30 min up but not sure as we lost track of time. Bring plenty of water! Saw a few elderly and small children and thought…how the heck?
Seeing the floor was worth the time as how often can you say you stood inside a volcano 🌋. We didn’t make the walk across the entire floor as it appears to be another mile, then up a large staircase before another mile back to overflow park. I’m not sure which route is better but I do believe the one we took down and back up the hill side was the shortest and quickest. It just may not have been the easiest.
翻译:参观火山的体验很棒。很少能看到熔岩,大多是贫瘠的火山底部和蒸汽。绕过游客中心可以节省时间。前往最后一站1号,欣赏最佳景色,在蒸汽喷口处稍作停留,然后前往熔岩管。熔岩管停车位很少,但在返回溢流口之前,最好先找找停车位。溢流口需要步行(5分钟),这似乎不算太糟,但如果你想到达火山口底部,额外的台阶就比较多了。
熔岩管很容易走,而且看起来很酷。光线昏暗,所以要拿出手机手电筒,以免踩到水坑,鞋子也会湿透。大约花了15分钟。
导游建议,观赏底部的最佳路线是从熔岩管对面走。这条路难度适中/困难,需要下山超过1英里才能到达底部,然后再徒步返回。感觉下山花了20分钟,上山花了30分钟,但我们记不清时间了,所以不确定。带上足够的水!看到几个老人和小孩,心想……这到底是怎么回事?
看到火山底部,感觉很值得,毕竟你有多少次会说自己站在火山里面呢🌋。我们没有走完整个火山底部,因为看起来还要走一英里,然后爬上一个大楼梯,再走一英里回到溢流公园。我不确定哪条路更好,但我相信我们走的那条下山再上山的路是最短最快的。只是它可能不是最容易的。
