2017科羅拉多白楊木(Aspen)賞葉行—Kenosha Pass(2017.09.21)


Fall colors, Kenosha Pass  (30)


Kenosha Pass位在丹佛西南方,Jefferson小鎮的東北方;US 285公路在JeffersonGrant路段環繞著Kenosha Pass,成為North Fork South Platte River山谷和South Platte River河源上游的通道。此隘口以前是印第安人到South Park打獵必經的路線,19世紀成為白人越過Front Range的道路,在1860科州採金礦熱潮期間,許多探礦者經這路線到South Platte河源上游的金礦區及其他South Park採礦區,交通的繁忙促使這條小道拓寬成為大道,在科州採銀礦熱潮時,此隘口變成移民者進入Leadville, BreckenridgeAspen的主要道路之一。

Kenosha Pass最高點海拔10,000呎(3048公尺),Colorado Trail (#1776)由此穿過,在此點有一露營地,大部分車輛皆可通過此隘口,是丹佛近郊最佳的賞白楊樹地點,每年的九月底遊客絡繹不絕。

Aspen的淺綠色樹幹上,長著許多黑色的“眼睛”,其實它只是黑色的枝幹節疤,從遠處看去,無數的明眸閃動著,時刻注視著周圍的一切,就像是一隻隻含情脈脈地眼睛,在等待遠方情人的歸來,聽說在中國大陸北方Aspen潔白的樹幹常常被情人們繫上紅絲巾,據說用紅絲巾遮住Aspen身上的“眼睛”,這樣,就能讓情人不再看其他的人,而一生一世只愛自己;或許,Aspen的浪漫就在於此罷!

今年九月白楊木(Aspen)葉子轉黃期間兩度進入落磯山國家公園Bear Lake附近觀賞,葉況不錯,唯公園內Bear Lake停車場雖大,但此季節遊客實在太多,常常一位難求,最好是在Park & Ride搭免費的Shuttle Bus進去,我們進去得早還有停車位可停。

從Rocky Mountain National Park返家途中順便繞道走Peak to Peak Scenic Byway,該條景觀道路也是觀賞Aspen葉子變色的熱門景區,途中看到幾隻Elk(麋鹿)和一隻Coyote(郊狼)。

科羅拉多洛磯山脈的Peak To Peak景觀道路被形容為“The showcase of the Front Range”,南起Central City和Black Hawk,一路沿著Indian Peaks和Rocky Mountain往北行,一條維護良好的柏油道路穿梭在崇山峻嶺中,直到北邊洛磯山國家公園的入口小鎮--Estes Park,全長55哩(88公里),行車時間約80分鐘。


毎年九月公路兩旁的白楊木(Aspen)陸續轉為金黃,開車穿行其間,真是一種視覺的饗宴;尤其在從Nederland北行約6.5哩後的道路西側山谷中一大片白楊木是此道路的精華地段,每當九月下旬白楊葉子轉色其間,該路段總是聚集大批的賞白楊遊客。
