火山奇迹与洞穴迷宫:4月12日尖峰国家公园爬山召集



美国目前有63座国家公园,距离旧金山湾区最近的一个是Pinnacles National Park,中文名称叫做尖峰国家公园。2013年升格为国家公园,之前是国家纪念地。春天有大量野花绽放,是赏花圣地之一!

在加州,它的名气虽然比起优胜美地或红杉公园名气小一些,但它拥有奇特火山地貌、壮观的岩柱、洞穴,还有丰富的野生动植物,是徒步、攀岩和观鸟的天堂。

1. 火山岩柱地貌(Pinnacles)

这些奇岩怪石是2300万年前的火山喷发后形成的,风蚀与地震活动塑造出如今独特的尖塔与峭壁。

2. 洞穴探险(Talus Caves)

两大著名洞穴:

  • Bear Gulch Cave(东侧):季节性开放,有蝙蝠栖息,夏天可能关闭部分
  • Balconies Cave(西侧):狭窄通道、岩石堆叠而成,需要手电筒!

3. 加州秃鹰(California Condor)观赏地

这里是观察加州秃鹰的最佳地点之一,它是北美最大的飞鸟,翼展可达近3米,非常稀有濒危。

4. 徒步路线丰富

  • High Peaks Trail(最经典,风景最佳):挑战型,峭壁小径
  • Condor Gulch Trail:适中路线,可见秃鹰
  • Bear Gulch Reservoir Trail:适合家庭,景色宁静

5. 攀岩圣地

各种难度的天然岩壁,是攀岩爱好者的天堂。

Pinnacles有两个入口,不互通(开车无法直接从东入口到西入口)。东入口近 Hollister,有游客中心、露营地;西入口近 Soledad,可以更快到达Balconies Cave区域,没有露营地,设施较少。
