点评:Boyden Cave is such a fantastic learning opportunity for everyone. It is an excellent excursion while in King's Canyon.
We had a wonderful tour of the cave in May. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and we all learned a lot on our trip. The staff working the store are the kindest! They knew so much and even taught us the names of the resident ravens.
The tour is no more than an hour, making it a perfect stop for families with kids young and old.
Some tips:
-The walk up to the cave is pretty steep. This is not an exaggeration. Your quads will be warmed up well by this walk. The incline is defined and at times challenging if you're not adjusted to altitude or the cardio. Give yourself a little extra time by arriving early and being the first when they drop the rope to enter the path.
-The views from the path to and from are amazing. Make sure you snap some photos.
-Visit in the off season for a better tour experience! Our tour wasn't too crowded, with 8 of us total. This made for a more personalized experience. Alternatively I would consider the private tour if you can. After visiting the tour I think it would be wonderful!
-The "Wild" exit. Bring water shoes (not sandals) to experience this! We didn't have ours and missed out. Definitely a regret and a reason to come back if we can.
- The gift shop is reasonably priced and features a lot of great merchandise. Support the cave (and your ornament collection) by stopping after.
-Let your kids ask questions. This is a wonderful education tour and encouraging them to ask their questions will only be met with kindness from the guide and new info for your kids.
翻译:博伊登洞穴对每个人来说都是一个绝佳的学习机会。在国王峡谷,这是一次绝佳的短途旅行。
我们五月份进行了一次精彩的洞穴之旅。我们的导游知识渊博,我们都在旅途中学到了很多东西。商店的工作人员非常友善!他们知识渊博,甚至还教我们当地渡鸦的名字。
整个旅程不超过一个小时,对于有孩子(无论大小)的家庭来说,这里都是一个完美的选择。
一些小贴士:
- 通往洞穴的路相当陡峭。这并非夸张。这段路能让你的四头肌得到充分的热身。如果你不适应海拔高度或不擅长有氧运动,坡度会很明显,有时会很具有挑战性。给自己留出一些额外的时间,提前到达,在他们放下绳索进入小路时第一个到达。
- 往返小路的景色令人叹为观止。一定要拍些照片。
- 淡季前往,体验更佳!我们的行程并不拥挤,一共8个人。这使得体验更加个性化。或者,如果可以的话,我建议你选择私人行程。参观完之后,我觉得那会非常棒!
-“野性”出口。一定要带水鞋(不是凉鞋)来体验!我们没有带,错过了。这绝对是一个遗憾,但如果可以的话,这也是一个再次造访的理由。
-礼品店价格合理,有很多很棒的商品。参观完后,不妨顺便逛逛,支持一下洞穴(以及你的装饰品收藏)。
-让你的孩子提问。这是一次很棒的教育之旅,鼓励他们提问,导游会热情地回应,并为你的孩子提供新的信息。
