点评:We took the shuttle up to the hike start place the week before Labor Day. With a reservation ahead you save almost 50%. It’s a nice sturdy modern bus and easily made the ascent. They narrate some interesting stories so i recommend you listen. They have rest rooms and park rangers where the bus drops you.
We did the crater lake hike when we got to the bus drop point. This is about 2 miles each way, and took a little over an hour each way at a medium pace, it’s a rocky trail, some parts tricky and I would not go if it’s wet. The lake at the 2 mile mark was dried up this year but was still a nice hike. We packed a lunch and some waters as there is nothing there to purchase.
The weather was warm and sunny, though it said 70 degrees it felt 10 degrees hotter. The hike is only partially shaded so wear sunscreen and hats!!
翻译:劳动节前一周,我们乘坐穿梭巴士前往徒步起点。提前预订的话能节省近50%的费用。那是一辆结实又现代化的巴士,顺利完成了上山之旅。车上工作人员会讲述一些有趣的故事,建议大家仔细聆听。巴士停靠点设有洗手间和公园管理员。
到达巴士停靠点后,我们便开始了火山口湖的徒步。这段路程单程约2英里,以中等速度行走的话单程需要一个多小时。沿途是一条多石的小径。有些路段比较难走,如果天气潮湿的话我建议不要去。今年在2英里处的那个湖已经干涸了,但这次徒步依然很愉快。我们自备了午餐和水,因为沿途没有任何可以购买东西的地方。
天气温暖且阳光明媚,虽然预报温度是70华氏度,但实际感觉要热上10度左右。这条徒步路线只有部分区域有遮阴处,所以一定要涂上防晒霜并戴上帽子哦!!
