Buntzen Lake Hiking




今天天气很好, 与四个朋友去Buntzen Lake hiking. 那条小径环湖一周, 全长8公里, 花了我们三个半小时.比去年我们走的Diez Vistas trail, 容易的多.

Buntzen Lake Trail
Hiking time: 4–5 hours return. Distance: 8 km. Elevation gain: 100 m.
Circle Buntzen Lake and enjoy the beautiful views of surrounding mountains. Starting at Buntzen Creek Bridge at the east side of South Beach, the trail leads north, passing several lake access points and viewpoints. After a short section along Powerhouse Road, the Buntzen Lake Trail resumes at the North Beach picnic area. From here, cross the suspension bridge to continue along the Buntzen Lake Trail or you can return along Powerhouse Road for a shorter, easier hike. The trail takes you through open areas underneath the powerline, through mature forest, across several bridges, then finally opens up onto Pumphouse Road. Follow this road south to the floating bridge across the southwest arm of Buntzen Lake. Cross the bridge and follow the trail back to South Beach.

一路上景色并没有什么特色, 只是那些嫩叶, 和羊齿类植物, 被透过树丛的阳光一照. 绿得让人很舒心.
