点评:These caves are magnificent! We had so much fun exploring them. The river and the colouring of the rock makes for beautiful pictures. They can be slippery so wear appropriate shoes. The trail down to the collapsed arch is not maintained so be prepared for a bit of overgrowth. The trail down to the initial river caves is easy - just a bit steep in parts. The stairway toward the end was broken when we were there - looks like it washed out or was toppled by a tree - but there is a path around that is easy to navigate, if a bit muddy.
Your GPS might lie to you about the location. Both our in-car and our apple GPS were wrong. There are very good directions online which I have copied here with apologies to the original writer (Trip Advisor won’t allow me to link because of their promotion policies):
-Exit Highway 19 at Zeballos Junction
-Stay on this road for 2.8 km then turn right at the fork in the road
-After 350m turn right onto Atluck Forest Service Road
-After 2.7 km turn left to stay on the AFSR
- Keep left at the next junction to stay on the AFSR
- 350m after that junction turn right onto HU100
- Continue for 2.3km and you will arrive at the parking lot
You should see signs with arrows pointing out which way the caves are, although one sign is broken and is just a red arrow.
The road was mostly okay (it is gravel; expect potholes). Very close to the parking lot there are a few really big grooves in the road. Just go slow and you’ll be fine.
翻译:这些洞穴真是太壮观了!我们探索起来非常开心。河流和岩石的色彩构成了美丽的照片。洞穴可能会很滑,所以要穿合适的鞋子。通往坍塌拱门的小路无人维护,所以要做好被杂草丛生的准备。通往最初几个河流洞穴的小路很容易走,只是有些地方有点陡峭。我们去的时候,通往尽头的楼梯坏了——看起来像是被冲毁了,或者被树推倒了——不过周围有一条小路很容易走,就是有点泥泞。
你的GPS可能在位置上撒了谎。我们的车载GPS和苹果GPS都错了。网上有很多非常好的路线,我把它们复制过来,向原作者致歉(TripAdvisor 由于推广政策不允许我发布链接):
- 从 Zeballos 路口驶出 19 号公路
- 沿着这条路行驶 2.8 公里,然后在岔路口右转
- 行驶 350 米后右转进入 Atluck 森林服务路
- 行驶 2.7 公里后左转继续沿 AFSR 行驶
- 在下一个路口靠左行驶继续沿 AFSR 行驶
- 在该路口后行驶 350 米右转进入 HU100
- 继续行驶 2.3 公里,您将到达停车场
您应该会看到带有箭头的指示牌,指示洞穴的方向,不过其中一个指示牌坏了,只有一个红色箭头。
路况基本还行(是碎石路;可能会有坑洼)。靠近停车场的地方有一些很大的沟壑。只要慢慢走就没问题。
