点评:First time at the California Caverns, my bf is very interested in caves and caverns and has been to all the other ones in the area. The walking tour runs every hour on the hour, its about a 10 minute walk from the store to the cavern entrance and you spend about an hour in the cavern. We learned that the cavern is underwater during the wet season and causes the tours to be closed for 4 months out of they year. It was still really muddy in some areas of the cavern in mid July. The tour has some low areas where you need to duck to get through as well as some tight squeezes into other rooms of the cavern. Wearing good shoes/closed shoes is reccomend there are some slick spots and the tour guide pointed them all out. It was really cool to see all the different formations and hear the stories of the miners that camped within as well as discovered the cavern. They had a small gift shop as well as a panning area for kids to pan sand to find crystals and gems. We exited a different way than we entered. The cool thing about this cavern is you can take spurlunking tours where you can explore other areas that are not accessible to the walking tour which is pretty rad. If you enjoy things like this I would definitely reccomend checking it out if you are in the area!
翻译:第一次去加州洞穴,我男朋友对洞穴很感兴趣,而且去过这附近的其他洞穴。步行游览每小时整点一次,从商店到洞穴入口步行大约10分钟,在洞穴里待大约一个小时。我们了解到,在雨季,洞穴会被淹没,导致一年中有4个月的行程关闭。七月中旬,洞穴的某些区域仍然泥泞不堪。游览过程中会遇到一些低洼地带,需要弯腰才能通过,还有一些狭窄的通道通往洞穴的其他房间。建议穿舒适的鞋子/不透气的鞋子,因为有些地方比较滑,导游会一一指出。看到各种不同的洞穴构造,聆听在洞穴内露营并发现洞穴的矿工们的故事,真的很酷。洞穴里有一个小礼品店,还有一个淘沙区,孩子们可以淘沙子寻找水晶和宝石。我们离开洞穴的路和进来的路不一样。这个洞穴的妙处在于,你可以参加洞穴探险之旅,探索一些步行游览无法到达的区域,这真是太棒了。如果你喜欢这样的体验,我强烈推荐你去看看,如果你正好在附近的话!
