Glacier National park 冰川公园

(2011-09-01 21:06:16) 下一个

八月下旬的冰川公园, 冰川瘦了不少，野花开了再谢, 不再有七月初的灿烂, 无数的瀑布也变得苗条起来.

从BOZEMAN驱车不到6小时就到了冰川公园的Many Glacier. 因为赶路, 错过许多蒙大拿的高原景色. Many Glacier和Logan Pass 都是值得停留, 细细品位的地方. Many Glacier值得停留一两天, 好几条trail一定要去看看。如果时间富裕, 可在Many Glacier Hotel住上两晚. 上午分别徒步去冰山湖 (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。走在上山的羊肠小道上，一边吹着口哨, 一边观察两边的灌木树林。刚走一个多英哩, 许多人匆匆忙忙向下走. 我被告知,在前方有3只黑熊，在小道上玩耍。我想这大老远地跑来，不去Iceberg Lake Trail实在可惜. 要不亲眼目睹一下黑熊，也不遗憾. 往前刚走一段，一只黑熊突然从转折处冲下路口, 吓得我扭头就跑. 后面还有几个游客被搁在小道上游. 好在黑熊没有再往下走. 事后很遗憾没有来及照相.

Going-to-the-Sun Road横贯东西, 建议从西向东开的时候避开黄昏时候, 地面反光, 上山时需要小心.

如果喜欢camping, 一定不要忘记去Highline Trail处camping. 可以在一大早坐SHUTTLE BUS 到Logan Pass, 赶到GRANITE PARK.
