点评:At 6 a.m. we took a taxi from our hotel, The Old Gin House, to the trailhead -- well worth the money. From the trailhead it took us about five and a half hours (with a lot of resting) to hike up to the rim, then down to the crater floor, back up to the rim, and back to the hotel (stopping for an 11 a.m. ice cream at Super Burger on the way).
The hike in and out of the crater was more of a climb, holding onto ropes and scrambling over rocks, but worth the effort to see a totally different ecosystem inside the crater. Climbing up out of the crater was easier and faster, since we didn’t have to worry about falling downhill. We enjoyed seeing all the plants, birds, and lizards.
You have to be reasonably fit and active to do this, but not necessarily young – we’re over 70! Bring a picnic and plenty of water, and start early.
翻译:早上 6 点,我们从我们的酒店 The Old Gin House 乘坐出租车前往登山口——物超所值。从小道起点,我们花了大约五个半小时(休息了很多时间)爬上边缘,然后下到火山口底部,回到边缘,然后回到酒店(上午 11 点停下来休息)。途中在 Super Burger 吃冰淇淋)。
进出火山口的远足更像是攀登,抓住绳索并在岩石上攀爬,但值得付出努力才能看到火山口内完全不同的生态系统。爬出火山口更容易也更快,因为我们不必担心会下坡。我们很高兴看到所有的植物、鸟类和蜥蜴。
你必须相当健康和活跃才能做到这一点,但不一定年轻——我们已经 70 多岁了!带上野餐和充足的水,早点出发。
