Ouzel Falls Trail (2011.06.04)

Ouzel Falls 1

Ouzel Falls Trail 位在落磯山國家公園東南隅的另一個分離的園區Wild Basin內,該登山口Estes Park 南邊約15哩、Allenspark北邊約4哩的7號公路西側,由該登山口起登可到多處的高山湖、瀑布和高山,每到夏天遊客絡繹不絕,停車場往往車滿為患,所以夏天、尤其是假日到此登山口還是早點出門為妙!

昨天到此登山口本想拍些野花,尤其是此地特有的Calypso Orchid (Fairy Slipper) ,但今年雪量蠻多的,步道旁積雪未融,高一點海拔的地方連步道都還是覆蓋著數呎積雪,所以野花一朵也沒拍到,只胡亂拍了些小溪、小瀑。從登山口(海拔2,590公尺)Ouzel Falls(海拔2,755公尺)單程約2.7(4.32公里),爬升約165公尺,小意思,但因為積雪又深又滑,不好搞!

中午在Ouzel Falls混了一個多小時,本想再上去距離1.7哩的Ouzel Lake,但積雪實在太厚了,加上看到一位老美因陷到積雪下,小腿骨被岩石或樹幹刮得好大一個傷口而打退堂鼓,等月底再來了,再來拍美美的Calypso Orchid (Fairy Slipper)
