POI 1 Tour Image
Ash Mountain入口
前方就是公园的主要入口。阿什山入口为公园的多样化景观提供了一个壮丽的开端，从点缀着橡树的丘陵地带逐渐过渡到高耸的红杉和高山景观，随着您的攀升而展开。

标志性的红杉国家公园标牌绝对不容错过。该标牌由平民保护团（CCC）于1930年代设计制作，这是新政时期为应对大萧条而设立的就业项目。CCC在公园早期基础设施的开发中发挥了重要作用，包括修建道路、步道和建筑。标牌的核心是一幅精美雕刻的美洲原住民酋长头像。这是对该地区土著历史的致敬，尤其是与这片土地有文化联系的约库特族。它的设计反映了CCC对保护工作地自然和文化遗产的重视，项目中常常融入当地材料和主题。

这是一个绝佳的拍照机会，旁边还有一个停车场！如果您想停下来快速拍张照片，纪念我们这次精彩旅程的起点，那么现在就是您的机会！

Foothills游客中心
在我们右边是山麓游客中心。这里是了解公园的绝佳地点。
游客中心位于公园的低海拔山麓区域，周围环绕着橡树林和灌木丛，为您提供了一幅壮丽的背景。一旦您踏入其中，就会被关于红杉的丰富知识所包围！展览内容涵盖公园低海拔地区的生态、地质和人类历史。游客可以了解野生动物、本地植物和该地区的季节性变化，以及关于当地土著约库特部落的历史和传统的展览，特别是他们与这片土地及其资源的联系。

当然，这里总有公园巡逻员乐意伸出援手，回答您可能有的任何问题。而在离开之前，您可以到纪念品商店逛逛，买一件可爱的卫衣作为纪念——您值得拥有！
