Ke komoʻana i El Dorado Hot Spring
ʻO El Dorado Hot Spring kahi hapaʻumi o ka mile ma ke komohana o 411th Avenue ma alanui Alanui India. I ko mākou hōʻeaʻana i ke komoʻana o El Dorado Hot Spring,ʻike mākou i kahi hōʻailona lāʻau hiʻohiʻona e hōʻike ana i "Hot Spring." ʻO kahi kī nui o ka waika, he kāhiko kahiko 1924 i kālaiʻia e kekahi kāhiko Ford 1988 a me ka helu helu he 4ʻo Texas a hiki i ka makahiki 1963, hoʻonaniʻiaʻo Thunderbird i ka hale kaʻa.
Ma hope o ko mākou heleʻana i loko o ka wā kahiko o nā moʻolelo a me nā mea kahiko, ua hoʻokipaʻia mākou e nā limahana me ka mahanahana a me ke aloha.
ʻO ke kahakai piha ma ka El Dorado Hot Spring
No kā mākou huakaʻi mua, ua mālama mākou i ka "Sunset Pool," i kapaʻia no ka mea he wahi nui ia e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā haunaele o ka lā aʻike i kahi hākōkī o ka hāʻule o Arizona . Ua hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokele i kā mākou kaʻa i kahi kokoke o ka Sunset Pool i hoʻopuniʻia e ka pā o kaʻohe ola. Hāʻawi kēia i kēia wahi i kahi maikaʻi kūlohelohe maikaʻi a me ka pilikino pilikino.
Hāmama kēia spa i ke komohana, e hāʻawi ana iāʻoe i ka nānā ponoʻoleʻia o ka wao naheleʻo Arizona a me ka napoʻoʻana o ka lā. ʻO kaʻike o Saddle Mountain he mea hoʻokūkala. ʻOiai he wahi ākea kēia, he wahi hiʻona nō ia. ʻO ka paʻa lāʻau lāʻau i ka hikina a me 25 mau kapuaʻi noho i ka'ākau e hoʻolako i nā pono a pau e pono aiʻoe. Eʻoni wale i loko o ke kai mehana kola me kou hauʻoli i ka lā me ka mea āu e aloha ai - ma keʻano maoli aʻaʻoleʻole.
Ma kēlā a me kēiaʻaoʻao, e hoʻoneleʻiaʻoe i kahi kahi kaʻawale loa. ʻO ka Sunset Pool kahi lua pele pōhaku i hanaʻia i ka pōhaku lua pele, a me nā pōhaku mai kahi gula gula i haʻaleleʻia. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa mauʻia ka spa e ka wai puna puna wai e holo ana i loko o ka amethyst geode nui ma kekahiʻaoʻao, a laila, ma waho o ka pōhaku e hele ai; Mai laila kahi e hoʻohemo ai i kaʻohe.
Wahi a nā mea nona nā El Dorado Hot Spring, "He pH maoli ka wai i 8.3, no laila, hana ia e like me ka mea pale ma luna o ka lauoho a me kaʻili. He nui keʻano o ka lithium i loko o ka wai e hoʻoulu ai i ka nohoʻoluʻolu ma hope o ka uluʻana . "
ʻO ke kaniʻana o ka wai kahe i loko o ka spa e hoʻonui i kekahi mau mea hoʻomaha hoʻomaha i kaʻike. Hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻololi no ka mahana kūpono ma o ka hoʻonāʻana i ka nui o ka wai wela e kahe ana i loko o ke kau. Aia kahi wai liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i hoʻouluʻia e ka lāʻau pāma a me ka waiʻaila waiʻona lima i paʻa i ka lima inā makemakeʻoe e holoi. Hāʻawi lākou i kahi papaʻaina e kiʻi ai i kāu meaʻai a me nā mea'ē aʻe'ē aʻe o ka honua. Aia kekahi lounges, nā noho, a me kekahi pāʻuku liʻiliʻi'ē aʻe me kahi ululāʻau liʻiliʻi i ka wā e hoʻomaha aiʻoe keʻole e waiho i ke kau. ʻO kēia wahi kahi e hoʻoneʻe ai kahi pale pale nalu ma luna o ka waiʻauʻau, no laila ua maloʻolu ka lā mahana wela.
Aia kēia'ōpana'āpana he kukui i ka lāihu lālā, akā makemake mākou e lawe mai i ka kukui me ka makemake e noho ma laila ma hope o ka napooʻana o ka lā. He mea kupanaha i ka pōʻeleʻele e hiki ai ke komo i loko o ka wao akua i ka pō pouliʻole. I ka pihaʻana o ka mahina, akā, he nani loa a he mea hoʻonani hoʻi e nānā i ka wā e hele ai i ka Sunset Pool.
ʻO ka Corral ma El Dorado Hot Spring
ʻO kā mākou heleʻanaʻelua i El Dorado Hot Spring ua lawe iā mākou i "Corral Pool." He wahi hūnā kēia, akā nui loa mai ka Sunset Pool.
ʻO kēia wahi,ʻoiai ka hoʻomauʻana i ka'ōhū uila o El Dorado Hot Spring, he wahi iki iki nō ia o ke ola o kēia wā.
He nui loa ka lokoʻauʻau ma kēia wahi. Holole ka wai koleke i loko o ka wai puna mai kahi papa maikaʻi maikaʻi loa, a laila iho i lalo i kahi wailele pōhaku. Hana ia no kahi hopena maikaʻi loa o ke kai. Ua hoʻolakoʻia kēia pūnāwai i kahi kū i ka lūlū hou a me kahi pūnaewele hōʻano'ē aʻe. Aia kekahiʻohana wai kūpaʻa kūpaʻa kūpono. ʻAʻole pono ka heleʻana i nā lā wela i ka pilikia ma Corral i hāʻawiʻia i nā hopena maikaʻi o kēia mau mea maikaʻi.
ʻO ka Corral kekahi wahi liʻiliʻi hou. ʻAʻole mākou i pohō i ka wai mālie. ʻOiai ua lōʻihi ka mahana kiʻekiʻe o ka lā i 100 maukelē, ua hōʻea mākou a kokoke i ka pō a hiki iā mākou ke hoʻololi i ka loko nui i kahi mahana mahana.
ʻElua mau lole a me nā nohoʻelua me ke kūʻana o ka lā e hāʻawi kahi wahi e hoʻomaha ai ke haʻalele i ka lokoʻauʻau no kekahi manawa.
Ua paʻa ka papa Corral i ka pā lāʻau no ke kūlohelohe. Aia kekahi'ōpili ke kaula liʻiliʻi e pili ana i ka palena o ka paʻama e hāʻawi iāʻoe i ka hopena uila kūikawā a hāʻawi i ka nui o ka mālamalama e huli i kou ala ma hope o ka pōʻeleʻele e hiki ke hoʻololiʻia no kaʻike nani o nā hōkū.
