点评:Valley of Fire is an amazing State Park. The trails vary in length and difficulty, so there is indeed something for everyone. Even just driving through is pretty amazing with all the rock formations in the distance and right next to the road. If you enter on the Lake Mead side, there is a $25 toll road; however, if you have a National Parks Pass it is honored here. The entrance to the Park is $15 for those from out of state. If you arrive before the park entrance kiosk is open, there is a small parking area next to the kiosk where you can pay the fee at a fee meter. Be sure to attach this receipt to your window or keep it handy as they do randomly check. The Seven Sisters and Elephant Rock are right next to the road. Our first hike was Mouse’s Tank. It was more a stroll with some pretty amazing rock formations. The trail was level, sandy, with occasional rocks hidden in the sand that tripped me up a few times. I would recommend this trail. We weren’t able to see the Fire Wave as there were too many cars and not any parking spaces. As this is a longer trail, the parking spaces did not turn over quickly, so after circling and waiting, we gave up and went on to White Dome. The highlight of this hike is the slot canyon. This area is also very crowded. This was the biggest negative of visiting this park…no place to park. I don’t know if they ever do shuttles, but that would sure help with the congestion. In spite of this, we enjoyed our visit and glad we went.
翻译:火焰谷是一个令人惊叹的州立公园。这里的步道长短不一,难度各异,总有一条适合你。即使只是驾车穿过,沿途的岩石地貌也令人叹为观止,远处和路边都是奇特的岩石构造。如果你从米德湖一侧进入,需要支付25美元的过路费;不过,如果你持有国家公园通行证,在这里也可以使用。外州游客的公园门票为15美元。如果你在公园入口收费亭开放前到达,收费亭旁边有一个小型停车场,你可以使用自助缴费机支付门票。请务必将收据贴在车窗上或随身携带,因为公园会随机检查。七姐妹岩和象岩就在路边。我们的第一条徒步路线是老鼠水箱步道。与其说是徒步,不如说是散步,沿途可以看到一些非常壮观的岩石构造。步道平坦,沙质路面,偶尔会有隐藏在沙子里的石头,我被绊倒了几次。我推荐这条步道。我们没能看到火焰波,因为车太多,根本找不到停车位。这条步道比较长,停车位周转很慢,所以我们绕了好几圈等了一会儿,最后只好放弃,继续前往白穹顶。这条徒步路线的亮点是狭缝型峡谷。那里也人山人海。这也是我们来这个公园最大的缺点……根本没地方停车。我不知道他们有没有班车,如果有的话肯定能缓解拥堵。尽管如此,我们还是玩得很开心,很高兴我们来了。
