TRIP 159: Healy Pass Peak
步行路线:9:20am 从 Healy Creek 牌子旁边的小道往南走几米,然后向右拐上与 Ski-out 路平行但处于低位的Healy Creek / Healy Pass Trail 西行。10分钟后来到有路牌的岔口,我们继续往西/西南方向 (右) 走在 Healy Pass Trail 上。随后的路线和路况都相当简单,往西南方向走在非常明显结实的林间小道上便可。沿途我们经过了小木桥,几处有点风景的开阔地,露营地,还有拐往 Simpson Pass 的小道,然后来到一个十分广阔的平缓地带。由于这条路线十分受滑雪爱好者的欢迎,沿途我们就碰上了7人,因此林中小道早已被踩踏得很结实,我为了走得轻快些甚至脱了雪鞋光穿靴子,直至到了 Pass 前的这个广阔的平缓地带才重新穿上雪鞋,因为从这里开始,雪变得很深很松软,即使跟着别人的雪板印子走也会陷入深雪里。从这里我们没有向着正前方的 Healy Pass 靠近,而是向着右边一边的山包走去。越过这个山包或是从其旁绕过后便能看见我们的目的地 Healy Pass Peak 在右前方 (北)。由于这里的山坡比较缓,自己可随意选择合适的路线向目标靠近。当然,如果有人走过,跟着脚印走总比自己在深雪里开路要省时省劲。
走在视野开阔的童话世界里不期然地便会慢下脚步,环视包裹着自己的景色,感受大自然的宁静与安祥,体会天地之广阔,那一刻我的心似乎也变宽了广了。
由于边走边停边看,从出了树林后我们走了一个半小时才登上山顶。这个山顶平整开阔,有足够的空间让我们摆弄三角架。而360度的美景,远近的高山溪谷更是令我们流连忘返,但是10km 的单程实在太长,日照又实在太短,一个多小时后我们不得不依依离去,并原路于5pm 回到拥挤的停车场。

这里的风景已十分美
从这里开始,雪变得很深很松软,即使跟着别人的雪板印子走也会陷入深雪里。从这里我们没有向着正前方的 Healy Pass 靠近,而是向着右边的山包走去。
越过这个山包或是从其旁绕过后便能看见我们的目的地 Healy Pass Peak 在右前方 (北)。
