酷暑毒日自駕遊:蒙娜湖驚豔遭暴曬(3)

這一天的重點是蒙娜湖,它位於優勝美地的東麵。上回去時見到了一汪淺藍色的湖泊,但是沒有找到那裏的奇石怪岩。後來一片老薑秀了幾張照片,算是讓暫時解了饞。三年過去了,這一次事先做了功課,仙人指路,拿到了指向美景的寶圖。

不過在去蒙娜湖之前,我們在優勝美地流連了一個上午。

婚紗瀑布(Bridalveil Fall-- 由於缺水,那片飄飄灑灑的水霧,還真是像極了新娘的麵紗。

我們離開了優勝美地,開了一個小時的路程,又見到了如夢似幻的藍色夢娜湖,一個有著76萬年曆史的鹽水蘇打湖泊。這一次我們繞過那個帶有空調的展覽館,按圖索驥,找到了夢娜湖鈣華州立自然保護區(Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve),那裏有著天然石灰石形成的鈣華塔。

走下車來,眼前是一條通向湖邊的木條步道,毒日當頭,一片蒸騰的熱空氣,去還是不去?

當然去啦,企盼了三年,耗費了心血,終於來到了寶地,豈有被酷暑嚇倒之理?這就是我們見到的仙境,大家說值得不值得?
