Day 2 Morristown > Great Smoky NP
如果你看慣了美西國家公園的大山大水與大景,那唯一來大煙山的這趟一定要選
擇秋季!秋季來到大煙山的主要目的是賞楓,因此有別於以往的行程,這次沒有特別要看
的點,也沒有特別要走的trail,就是順著楓紅,在這彩色森林裡兜風!2011年是相當幸
運的一年,正常來說十月底不算是太好的賞楓時間,但因為這一年的氣候較異常,賞楓的
時機點甚至延長至11月中,所以十月底去的我很幸運地欣賞到美麗的秋景,也不枉我狠下
心來選擇將哩程兌換在這趟大煙山之旅上!
來到大煙山賞楓前,一定要先看Great Smoky Mountains Association這個網頁
,因為裡頭會有即時的fall leaf color資訊,最棒的是它還會直接推薦你開哪條路或是
走哪條trail,這對時間有限又想盡覽秋色的遊客而言,是最佳的參考資訊!
以下是我十月底的園內賞楓路線:
(1)從Morristown出發沿著32號公路走,轉往Foothills Parkway。
(2)接著往南走40號>276號>19號公路,目的是在Soco Gap接上一段Blue Ridge Parkway
(藍嶺公路)。
(3)從Oconaluftee Visitor Center進入大煙山國家公園,途經Newfound Gap Road、
Appalachian Trail,之後在Sugarlands Visitor Center休息。
(4)接著走Little River Road,選了一條Laurel Falls trail走入這片彩色森林。
(5)若有時間則繼續繞進Cades Cove。
Foothills Parkway,這段其實還未進入大煙山國家公園,但十月底這時間大煙山高海拔
區域的楓葉普遍凋零,所以這次的路線多以中、低海拔為主!
至於原本期待甚深的Blue Ridge Parkway (藍嶺公路段)...我懷疑是miss掉了,因為在進
入大煙山時發現藍嶺段的出口好像不太一樣...不過算了,既然整段路都五顏六色地相當
繽粉,也是不需要太執著是否誤走了別條路!
Oconaluftee Visitor Center,我最愛的其中一景,不曉得是不是園方刻意在visitor
center外種植的一顆大樹,真得很美,落葉滿地,父母陪著孩子們在這裡嘻戲玩耍,沒有
什麼畫面比這個更詳和的了!
接著來到了高海拔的區段。Newfound Gap標高1538m,位處田納西與北卡的交界,十月底
時楓葉皆已凋零,呈現出與中低海拔截然不同地冬季乾枯蕭條的景象!
Appalachin Trail。阿帕拉契山脈也是過去在地理課本裡才會讀到的名山,能夠踩在它上
頭,感覺還是相當不同!
聽從ranger的建議,我們選擇了園內最popular的瀑布之一,Laurel Falls,近距離感受
一下秋日氣氛!Laurel Falls來回2.6 miles,輕鬆好走,沿途風景優美,是投資報酬率
相當高的一條trail,極推!
在這條trail上很lucky地看到了棕熊在樹林裡出沒,只可惜沒來得及換長焦...,這是繼
Sequoia、Yosemite後第三座看到熊的國家公園
興頭一來,想拍下各種顏色,
什麼顏色都拍了,獨獨忘了綠,大概是因為它不屬於秋吧...
從Laurel Falls一路開至最後一區,Cades Cove,相當費時,且走到此處也已接
近黃昏,因此最後Cades Cove我們就只有開車進去沿著路繞了一圈...這樣一整天開下來
,實在可以感受到大煙山的大,但若只是來賞楓,連同前一天在猛獁象洞窟也見了秋色,
我倒是覺得這樣的時間剛好,再多,怕是會對這色調感到乏味。
或許大煙山不像美西的國家公園那樣壯闊,但秋日的大煙山,真是相當值得你走
這麼一遭!
