前幾天風強,風速達到二、三十mp/h,一夕之間,山上山下、大街小巷的金黃艷紅葉子全掃光,讓人誤以為冬天到了!前天艷陽高照,一點風都沒有,在落磯山公園來講,在這個時節是個難得的好天氣,邀太座上山看看雪景,否則大雪一來,可就懶得上去了!
Indian Peaks from CO-72( Peak To Peak)
Mount Meeker海拔13,911 呎( 4,240 公尺),很突出的一座山,有名的Longs Peak (海拔14,259 ft / 4,346 m)就隱身在它的後方。說到這兒有時真替Mount Meeker叫屈,很多人從東邊看山常把此山看成是Longs Peak,尤其是從丹佛一路沿I-25往北走,所謂的Longs Peak其實大部分就是Mount Meeker,越往北走,真正屬於Longs Peak的僅是突出在Mount Meeker山頂上的那塊略呈方形的平整山頭,其餘的Longs Peak山體整個被Mount Meeker給擋住了。

平常一位難求的Bear Lake停車場看來積雪蠻厚的,車輛不多,Ranger Station 也關門歇業,冬天氣息蠻重的!

Bear Lake湖面約有三分之二已結冰,再過一陣子湖面上將盡是嘻耍的人群。
環湖步道積雪很厚,但因為太多人走過,不穿雪鞋也不難走。
