Glacier National park 冰川公園

(2011-09-01 21:06:16) 下一個

八月下旬的冰川公園, 冰川瘦了不少，野花開了再謝, 不再有七月初的燦爛, 無數的瀑布也變得苗條起來.

從BOZEMAN驅車不到6小時就到了冰川公園的Many Glacier. 因為趕路, 錯過許多蒙大拿的高原景色. Many Glacier和Logan Pass 都是值得停留, 細細品位的地方. Many Glacier值得停留一兩天, 好幾條trail一定要去看看。如果時間富裕, 可在Many Glacier Hotel住上兩晚. 上午分別徒步去冰山湖 (Iceberg Lake) 和 Grinnell Glacier trail. 下午可以去Red Rock Falls Trail 和 Grinnell Lake trail.

我打算去Iceberg Lake Trail。走在上山的羊腸小道上，一邊吹著口哨, 一邊觀察兩邊的灌木樹林。剛走一個多英哩, 許多人匆匆忙忙向下走. 我被告知,在前方有3隻黑熊，在小道上玩耍。我想這大老遠地跑來，不去Iceberg Lake Trail實在可惜. 要不親眼目睹一下黑熊，也不遺憾. 往前剛走一段，一隻黑熊突然從轉折處衝下路口, 嚇得我扭頭就跑. 後麵還有幾個遊客被擱在小道上遊. 好在黑熊沒有再往下走. 事後很遺憾沒有來及照相.

Going-to-the-Sun Road橫貫東西, 建議從西向東開的時候避開黃昏時候, 地麵反光, 上山時需要小心.

如果喜歡camping, 一定不要忘記去Highline Trail處camping. 可以在一大早坐SHUTTLE BUS 到Logan Pass, 趕到GRANITE PARK.
