Life in Boulder 6 (冰湖)
这次的照片来自去年冬天的两次洛基山脉里的冰湖之旅:
1. 12/07/2014 Mills Lake (Photo No. 01 ~ 17)
The hike to Mills Lake begins from the Glacier Gorge Trailhead, located on Bear Lake Road almost 8 miles from the turn-off at Highway 36. The lake is named after Enos Mills, the man commonly referred to as the “father of Rocky Mountain National Park”. His most significant contribution, however, was spending numerous years lecturing across the nation, lobbying Congress, and writing thousands of letters and articles that would eventually lead to the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park on January 26, 1915. 这次Mills湖之行主要是为了走一下雪地, 为过阵子爬雪山热身, 没想到山里天气极度严寒, 整个湖被冻的结结实实, 在高山冰湖上行走的感觉真是太有意思了!
2. 12//13/2014 Cub Lake (Photo No. 18 ~ 33)
The hike to Cub Lake begins from the Moraine Park area. Most of this hike will pass through terrain that was scorched by the Fern Lake Fire during the fall of 2012. 上次去Mills湖意犹未尽, 于是一周之后又去了Cub Lake. 这次胆子大了一点, 基本走到湖中心了, 但天气没有一周前冷, 有时可以听到冰面下突然发出”咚咚”的声音, 不知道是什么原因, 只是感觉冰面要被撕裂, 所以还是不敢彻底横跨湖面走到对面去.
01. Hike之前第一件事就是要看下地图:

29. 扔块石头砸一下看看湖面到底结实不结实, 结果证明很结实:
