Incredible place! A must see, but even better at night!
Craters of the Moon National Monument的点评
点评:One of the most underrated parks in the NPS that we’ve been to, and we love NPS and the outdoors. It really was like a moonscape. To truly enjoy it on another level, I highly recommend going late afternoon/early evening. We did Inferno Cone and Spatter cones right before a beautiful sunset. It was very windy but temperature-wise it was comfortable. I would imagine that the dark volcanic rock radiates a lot of heat during the midday heat. Using headlamps and staying on the paved paths, we walked the bat caves trail to the Indian Tunnel. Again, it was otherworldly and incredible. And a little creepy with the occasional bat flying around! By this time, the stars were coming out and we set up for our astrophotography session and captured the Milky Way.
My only regret is that we should have camped instead of driving back with deer along Rt 26.
翻译:这是我们去过的国家公园里最被低估的公园之一,而我们热爱国家公园和户外活动。这里真的就像月球表面一样。为了更深入地体验它的魅力,我强烈建议在傍晚时分前往。我们在美丽的日落前游览了地狱锥和喷溅锥。当时风很大,但气温很舒适。我想,在正午的烈日下,黑色的火山岩会散发出大量的热量。我们戴着头灯,沿着铺好的小路,沿着蝙蝠洞小径走到了印第安隧道。那里的景色再次令人叹为观止,仿佛置身于另一个世界。偶尔飞过的蝙蝠也让人感觉有点毛骨悚然!这时,繁星开始闪耀,我们架起相机开始拍摄星空,并捕捉到了银河的壮丽景象。
我唯一的遗憾是,我们应该选择露营而不是沿着26号公路开车返回,沿途还能看到鹿。
