点评:this was one of the more interesting places we visited on our trip to palm springs. We found out about it from the ranger who worked at palm canyon. (thank you). its about an hour drive north of twenty nine springs California, not much to see along the way but is all paved driving.
The parking lot is good size. has a pit toilet and a handicap ramp to an observation point. we were here in January early morning around 8.30. it was around 50 digress when we started so jacket weather. at the start of the trail, there is an information board that explains what you are looking at and information about the hike.
you will want to bring water (at least 2 bottles per person), use the rest area before starting. its the only one here.
The hike itself involves a one mile hike to and around the crater on a un even trail to the start of a few switch backs uphill perhaps 600 feet high. once you get there, you can hike up another 100 feet to the rim. the rim offers good views of the inside and surrounding area. wile we visited , we saw trains coming by several times. from this viewpoint, you can photo the entire freight train.
we spent 3 hours here from start to finish. took us more than an hour to reach the top of the crater. it was cold the day we were there. so we did not have to deal with the heat problems i read from other reviews. we did not see any lizards or colorful flowers. there are no services at the site however there are places nearby like a gas station.
翻译:这是我们去棕榈泉旅行时参观过的最有趣的地方之一。我们从棕榈峡谷的护林员那里得知了这一点。(谢谢)。从加利福尼亚州二十九泉向北开车大约一个小时,沿途没什么可看的,但都是铺好的路。
停车场很大。有一个蹲坑厕所和一个通往观察点的无障碍坡道。我们是一月份早上 8:30 左右来到这里。我们出发时,海拔大约为 50 米,所以需要穿夹克。在小径的起点,有一块信息板,上面解释了您正在看的东西以及有关徒步旅行的信息。
您需要带水(每人至少 2 瓶),在出发前使用休息区。这里只有休息区。
徒步旅行本身包括沿着一条不平坦的小径徒步一英里到达火山口并绕行,然后开始几个大约 600 英尺高的上坡转弯。到达那里后,您可以再徒步 100 英尺到达边缘。边缘提供了内部和周围区域的良好视野。我们参观时,看到火车经过好几次。从这个角度,你可以拍摄整列货运列车。
我们从头到尾在这里呆了 3 个小时。我们花了一个多小时才到达火山口顶部。我们在那里的那天很冷。所以我们不必处理我从其他评论中看到的炎热问题。我们没有看到任何蜥蜴或五颜六色的花朵。现场没有服务,但附近有加油站等地方。
