行走在落基山脉 Day 6 - Hiking Skyline Trail

The Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park is one of the premier backpacking trails in the Canadian Rockies and with 25kms of the trail at or above treeline it is easy to understand why.

The trail is best hiked south to north from Maligne Lake, this way you avoid a long grunt up a fire road and start with a 600m elevation advantage.

SKYLINE Trail - 45 km.
Elevation gain 1380 m. Maximum elevation 2490 m.

这条45公里长的trail, 可以从不同的方向走进去。
我们先把一辆放在Trail End (北面),另两辆停在Trail Head - Maligne Lake (南面)。

沿途有不同的campsites:

Evelyn Creek 5.2km
Little Shovel Pass 8.1km
Snow Bowl 11.8km
Curator 20.4km ( 我们第一晚的营地)
Tekarra 30.1km
Signal 35.7km (第二晚的营地)
then another 9km down to the parking lot.

我们宿营的Curator campsite 附近有个Shovel Pass Lodge。 

饭后,我们到这个Lodge 里坐了会儿,一位和蔼的大妈热情接待了我们,准备了咖啡、茶、果汁,还有自制了的饼干,
在一天的长途跋涉、风吹雨淋后能有这么个地方围坐在火炉旁,喝上热咖啡、吃上自制的cookies 真是太幸福了。

我们还预定了第二天的早餐 ($10/人)
