2017 Big Bend National Park Travel — 8/20 Lost Mine Trail (一)

大約七點半左右到達停車場,不算大的停車場空無一車,大概是還太早了吧!

一大清早氣溫不高

Trailhead很明顯,就在停車場旁。


Lost Mine Trail is a 4.2 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Terlinguo, Texas that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round.

The lost mine trail serves as an outstanding introduction the flora and fauna of the Chisos Mountains, only 1 mile into the hike their is a saddle offering stunning views of Casa Grande and Juniper Canyon. The remainder of the trail climbs steeply in and out of juniper, oak, and pine forest. The trail abruptly levels out at the ridge with superb views of Pine Canyon and the Sierra del Carmen in Mexico.

指示牌上說Roundtrip是4.8 miles,和我在網路上查到的資訊有點出入。

一早陽光還只照到對面山頭上的岩石!(我在Google上核對了照片,這應該就是Casa Grande)

一開始是有鋪著碎石的步道

看這告示牌會怕嗎?像我們這樣一組四人,動物遠遠的看到或聽到我們就會躲得遠遠的!hiking這麼多年,只有走在阿拉斯加的Denali National Park的步道上看過動物,所以覺得我們運氣沒這麼好啦!



很奇特的植物,發覺一些走這條Trail的人也在這裡照相留念。為了這植物查了一下專程買的書,應該是Rough Agave長出來的花。

這個時間爬山真的很舒服,雖然沒什麼風,但是感覺很涼快,穿個夾克剛剛好。

一開始真是要穿件夾克或薄外套,一大早氣溫還沒升上來,露珠都還在葉子上!

陽光都還沒照到我們這邊,趁此時趕緊往上爬!

越爬越高,雲淡風輕!


這是從另一個角度看Casa Grande

擺個姿勢吧!


這是我們十多年來第一次hiking穿短褲,實在是德州太熱了,待在Austin十多天,還真沒穿過長褲!

老公很愛搞笑!

下次應該要帶自拍棒!
