今年美國獨立日(Independence Day / the Fourth of July)連假女婿安排與Boulder一位教會友人兩家到Winter Park度假,第一天下午到住宿旅館Check in後隨即到附近的一條步道(Fraser Experimental Forest)走走。


Fraser Experimental Forest 是一條位在Fraser近郊全長約 4.6 哩(7.36公里)中等難度的健行環線,整條路線起伏不大,總爬升高度僅約246呎/75公尺左右,是一條老少咸宜的健行步道。


行車資訊:

由旅館開車沿Meadow Mile接Meadow Ridge Rd下山,遇US 40公路(Zerex St)右轉行0.3 哩後於Eisenhower Dr向左轉,改為往Carriage Rd前進,行0.1 哩後右轉Carriage Rd進入Co Hwy 73朝西轉西南行,行約2.3 哩遇岔路取左再行0.2 哩抵Saint Louis Creek Winter Parking lot停車。

過了此點再行一段路後我們便折返循原路回到登山口,因為孩子們也急著回去早點做晚餐及夜晚到Winter Park觀賞國慶煙火!
