Hell's Gate National Park
Beste Besuchszeit
Arrive right at the 6 a.m. gate opening to catch cooler air and the most active wildlife before the midday heat. Dry months, roughly June through September, keep the trails and gorge floor passable and skies clear.
Budgettipps
Non-resident entry runs roughly $30 to $40 per adult, residents pay far less, and one ticket covers the whole day. Renting a bike on site costs just a few dollars and beats paying for a vehicle, while walking the gorge adds nothing extra.
Empfohlen für

Schnelle Fakten: Dampfende geothermische Quellen und die Ol-Njorowa-Schlucht durchziehen diese 68 Quadratkilometer große Landschaft aus Savanne und roten Klippen. Da hier keine großen Raubtiere unterwegs sind, können Besucher direkt an grasenden Zebras und Giraffen vorbei wandern und Rad fahren, und die zerklüftete Silhouette inspirierte den Pride Rock in Disneys Der König der Löwen.
Highlights: Betritt man die schmale Ol-Njorowa-Schlucht, hört man den Boden zischen, wenn kochender Dampf aus felsigen Spalten schießt, eine jenseitige Geräuschkulisse, die vom geothermischen Feld direkt hinter dem Park gespeist wird. Am Fischer's Tower, der 25 Meter hohen Vulkansäule, kann man Kletterern beim Erklimmen des Basalts zusehen, während Antilopen ruhig an seinem Fuß grasen.
Insidertipps
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and long pants in the gorge, where loose rock and hot, steamy ground make sandals a bad idea.
- Start at 6 a.m. to have the cycling loop nearly to yourself before tour groups roll in around nine.
- Photograph Fischer's Tower and the red cliff walls in the late afternoon, when the low sun turns the rock golden.
- Carry at least two liters of water per person and pack your own snacks, since food stalls in the park are scarce.
