2017科羅拉多白楊木(Aspen)賞葉行—Rocky Mountain National Park(2017.09.26)

Bear Lake in Fall 

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。
