点评:I had this brilliant idea to take my kids to Emerald Creek to dig for star garnets. I did it about 12 yrs ago and scored some beautiful gems. We drove down from eastern WA. Got down the 7 mi dirt road to see signs that say “Reservations required’. No cash/money taken at site. This was not mentioned on This Site.
1) this is a Federally run site.
Recreation.gov Emerald Creek/garnet area
2) Reservations ARE required. Season opens Memorial Day-early fall. ‘Reservations/tickets’ start on March 1 each year. They go FAST!!!
2a) there are on 60 spots/day. Choose an AM or PM session.
3) tickets (2022) were $16 adults, $6 youth 6-12,
$1-5 & under.
4) about 2-2.5 hr from Spokane.
5) there is a Campground:Emerald Creek. Need separate reservations.
*advice: plan to get dusty/muddy. bring garden glove that can get wet, a kneeling pad, Water & a sack lunch, hat, sunscreen. There are porta potties & a handwashing station.
6) NO Cell Service in that region!! Even spotty on Hwy 3.
Hope this is helpful. PLAN way Ahead!
翻译:我有一个绝妙的主意,就是带我的孩子们去翡翠溪挖掘星石榴石。我大约 12 年前做过,并获得了一些美丽的宝石。我们从西澳东部开车下来。沿着 7 英里的土路走下去,看到标有“需要预订”的标志。现场没有现金/钱。本网站未提及这一点。
1) 这是一个联邦运营的网站。
Recreation.gov 翡翠溪/石榴石区
2) 需要预订。季节打开阵亡将士纪念日 - 初秋。 “预订/门票”从每年的 3 月 1 日开始。他们走得快!!!
2a) 每天有 60 个名额。选择上午或下午时段。
3) 门票 (2022) 成人 16 美元,6-12 岁青少年 6 美元,
1-5 美元及以下。
4) 从斯波坎出发约 2-2.5 小时。
5) 有一个露营地:Emerald Creek。需要单独预订。
*建议:计划变得尘土飞扬/泥泞。带上会弄湿的园艺手套、跪垫、水和午餐袋、帽子和防晒霜。有便盆和洗手台。
6)该地区没有手机服务!!甚至在 3 号高速公路上也参差不齐。
希望这会有所帮助。提前计划!
