Spectacular Sight and Hiking the Sliding Sands Trail was Incredible
哈雷阿卡拉火山口的点评
点评：If you are fortunate to be here when there aren't heavy clouds, the views at the summit of Haleakalā National Park are spectacular. After making the 1 hour long drive up the twisting and turning Haleakala Highway, I arrived at around 1030am to find perfectly clear skies and incredible views. My plan was to hike the Sliding Sands Trail which leaves from near the visitor center and takes you all the way down to the bottom of the crater and after hiking across the crater floor, you exit by climbing up a series of switchbacks to the Halmau'u Trailhead which sits at an elevation that is about 2000ft lower than when you started sparing you some of the work of exiting the crater. To accomplish this, I parked at the Halemau'u Trailhead which is where the trail ends and was able to hitch a ride from a passing car to the summit where the hike begins. There is a designated spot where hikers should stand, and we waited just a few minutes before a helpful driver stopped. Most including myself aren't probably into picking up hitchhikers, but I would encourage anyone making the drive to not hesitate to pick up any waiting hikers as this is the expected practice at the park. The hike was incredibly strenuous and took 6 hours. The most challenging portion is the last 2 hours of climbing out of the crater which requires a 1000ft ascent through endless switchbacks. It was absolutely brutal. It required as much mental stamina as physical stamina. You are also at high elevation which adds to the difficulty. Hiking poles were essential. However, this was one of the most incredible hiking experiences I have done especially as I was fortunate to have clear weather conditions for the first few hours of the hike. It was like being on another planet. Even after the clouds rolled in, it just added to the mysteriousness of the place, and it was still amazing. It is said that watching sunrise at the summit of the crater is an almost spiritual experience. However, this requires being on the road by 4-430am if staying at Ka'anapali Beach and driving up the Crater Road in the dark. You will also need to make a reservation online for entry in one of the two windows available which are at 60 days in advance or 2 days in advance. Tickets sell out quickly and you best be ready to make the request just after 7am Hawaii time to secure a ticket. There are a few options from where to watch the sunrise. Red Hill Summit is the true highest point and is said to be the best location, but the White Hill Trail (Pā Kaʻoao) closer to the visitor center also provides excellent unobstructed views of the crater. It should also be said that even if it is 80F at the beach, it can be in the 30-40s at the summit. Bring warm clothes including a jacket if you plan to be up here watching sunrise.
翻译：如果您有幸在没有厚厚云层的时候来到这里，那么哈莱阿卡拉国家公园山顶的景色将非常壮观。经过 1 小时的车程，沿着蜿蜒曲折的哈莱阿卡拉高速公路，我于上午 10:30 左右到达，天空晴朗，景色令人叹为观止。我的计划是徒步滑沙小径，从游客中心附近出发，一直到火山口底部，徒步穿过火山口底部后，爬上一系列之字形山路，到达 Halmau'u 小径起点，该起点的海拔比您开始离开火山口时低了约 2000 英尺，为您省去了离开火山口的一些麻烦。为了完成这个任务，我把车停在小径终点 Halemau'u 小径起点，然后搭车前往徒步旅行的起点山顶。徒步旅行者应该站在一个指定位置，我们等了几分钟，一位热心的司机就停了下来。包括我自己在内的大多数人可能都不喜欢搭载搭便车的人，但我鼓励任何开车过来的人不要犹豫，搭载任何在公园等候的徒步旅行者，因为这是公园的常规做法。这次徒步旅行非常艰苦，耗时 6 个小时。最具挑战性的部分是最后 2 个小时爬出火山口，需要通过无尽的之字形路线爬升 1000 英尺。这绝对是残酷的。它需要与体力一样多的精神耐力。而且你处于高海拔地区，这增加了难度。登山杖是必不可少的。然而，这是我经历过的最不可思议的徒步旅行之一，特别是因为我很幸运，在徒步旅行的最初几个小时天气晴朗。就像在另一个星球上一样。即使在云层滚滚而来之后，它也增加了这个地方的神秘感，它仍然令人惊叹。据说在火山口顶看日出是一种近乎精神的体验。但是，如果住在卡纳帕利海滩并在黑暗中沿着火山口路行驶，则需要在凌晨 4-4:30 上路。您还需要在线预订入场门票，两个预订窗口分别是提前 60 天或提前 2 天。门票很快就会售罄，您最好在夏威夷时间早上 7 点之后提出申请，以确保获得门票。有几个地方可以选择。红山顶峰是真正的最高点，据说是最佳位置，但靠近游客中心的白山小径 (Pā Ka'oao) 也能一览无余地欣赏火山口的美景。还应该说，即使海滩的温度是 80 华氏度，山顶的温度也可能只有 30 到 40 华氏度。如果您计划在这里看日出，请带上保暖的衣服，包括夹克。
