In fact, the Rocky Mountains in winter are more charming than in summer, Yang Jing has not felt the Rocky Mountains in winter before, but now he suddenly came here, and he really felt the unique style of the Rocky Mountains in winter, which made him can't help but temporarily give up the idea of shuttling to the time and space of the eighties, but is ready to take a walk along the mountain road and relax himself completely.The Rocky Mountains are not only the backbone of North America, but also a paradise for North American hikers.There are countless challenging hiking trails in the Rocky Mountains, and any one of them can keep hikers entertained for days, such as Yosemite National Park, Ordorado National Forest, and of course, the California Hiking Trail, which is said to be the most beautiful and difficult hiking trail in the world.The trail is also over 800 kilometres long, and while it can't be compared to the world's longest hiking trail, the 1,002-kilometre Bibmumont Trail in Western Australia, the California Hiking Trail is one of the most difficult and scenic in the world.In fact, the California Hiking Trail is just a general term, which refers to starting at the junction of California and Oregon and continuing south along the Rocky Mountains to the vicinity of Los Angeles.In an area of 800 kilometers in length, more than 100 kilometers wide, a total area of more than 80,000 square kilometers, nine national parks and hundreds of state parks, there are countless routes for hikers to choose from, but no matter what you choose, if you can hike from the northernmost point of California to the vicinity of Los Angeles in the mountains, then you have completed the greatest hike in the world.Countless hikers around the world take on this trail every year, and some of them die in the process of conquering it, but this still can't stop them from loving the trail.Even if it's winter, in the middle of this rolling mountain, I don't know how many people are conquering this route at this time.It was as if Yang Jing had walked about four or five kilometers along the sparsely populated mountain road into the mountains when he met two fellow travelers who were resting.Seeing Yang Jing walking down the mountain alone with a travel bag on his back, the bearded man greeted Yang Jing with a smile.The friendly attitude made Yang Jing a little happy, after all, he was a typical Asian face.But at the same time, he was also very curious, the two travelers in front of him were very dusty, and it was obvious that the two of them had come here after a long journey."
Hey, hello, are you hikers too?
I'm Albert Yang and I'm from China. ”Walking up to them, Yang Jing also sat down."
Huaxia?
Hey there, I'm Tony Oldman, this is my wife Nicole Oldman, and we're both from New Zealand.Albert, nice to meet you, are you also planning to hike in the mountains?
”The two travelers are a man and a woman, the man is about 30 years old and less than 40 years old, and his figure looks very burly.As for his wife, she was a little more slender, but quite pretty."
Yes, I've heard that the Rocky Mountains are beautiful, but I haven't had time to feel them up close, and I happened to have some free time these days, so I decided to hike into the mountains to see the winter scenery of the Rocky Mountains.What about you?
”"Hehe, my husband and wife have been in the Rocky Mountains four weeks ago, but we are not hiking here, but further north at Camp Harpy, which is about 400 kilometers away in a straight line.""
Camp Happy?
You are from Camp Happi?
Jesus Christ, you are amazing. ”Yang Jing gave a thumbs up to the two of them, and his tone was full of admiration.Located on the border of California and Oregon, deep in the Rocky Mountains and on the banks of the Klamath River, Camp Happee is a well-known camping mecca.Every year, a large number of hikers go to that town and start hiking from there.The straight-line distance from Camp Happi to here is really more than 400 kilometers, but this refers to the distance in a straight line on the map, and if you want to get here from Camp Hapi, the actual walking route is at least 200 kilometers more.If you are on flat land, the 600-kilometer hike is at most half a month and 20 days, but walking so far from the mountains and mountains is greatly more difficult.The fact that this couple were able to get from Camp Happi in four weeks was quite impressive."
Tony, are you and your wife challenging the California Hiking Trail?"
Yang Jing asked curiously."
Yes, we met more than a decade ago through hiking, and after we got married, we had to go on a long hike and a few short and medium hikes every year, and this time we were ready to take on the toughest California hiking trail, so we came here after three months of preparation.Now that we're halfway through the route, we expect to be able to complete the challenge in another four to five weeks. ”"Wow, you two are amazing!"
Yang Jing praised with a smile, Tony accepted Yang Jing's praise with a grin, and his wife smiled a little shyly.Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Yang Jing suddenly remembered the four guys who crossed the North American continent on foot in Alert last year, so he said: "Actually, when I went to Alert, the northernmost part of Canada, last year, I met four crazy people.Yes, they really didn't look like crazy people in my opinion, but I admired them as well, because it took the four of them nine months to cross the entire North American continent and finally reach Arlett. ”"Do you know Jeff and the four of them?"
Nicole, who was sitting next to Tony, asked in surprise after hearing Yang Jing say this.Yang Jing scratched his head, and in his memory, it seemed that there was indeed a man named Jeff among the four crazy guys, "Is the Jeff you said called Jeff Enzos?"
Not very tall, but with a big, Mediterranean head, about forty-something?
”Nicole smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's Jeff, he's also a New Zealander, and he's very famous in our New Zealand travel community."
The year before last, he said he was going to go on a hike across the North American continent, and we all thought he was crazy, but last September he was covered by television, and he did it with three Americans. ”Tony also exclaimed: "Yes, it is really an incredible feat, it is close to 9,000 kilometers in nine months, and most importantly, most of their trip is in the inaccessible Canadian ice field, which is even more remarkable."
I think their feat is even more powerful than Forrest Gan in the movie. ”Yang Jing also laughed, strictly speaking, although Forrest Gump in the movie ran across the United States three times, the difficulty was really nothing compared to the feat accomplished by the four madmen he met in Alett last year.Of course, if these four madmen are to follow the German soldier Svenki in another movie "Polar Rebirth", they are not half a star behind.Yang Jing watched that movie, and the roots of Yang Jing's teeth were a little sour.The film tells the story of a German prisoner named Svenki in World War II, who is exiled to the bitterly cold eastern Siberia for 25 years of labor reform.After five years of inhuman life, he vowed to escape from this earthly territory.He alone launched a 14,000-kilometer "polar escape" operation.During his more than three years as a fugitive, he experienced snowstorms, conquered lofty mountains, and traveled to Siberia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Mongolia and other places.When he arrived in Iran, he was unexpectedly imprisoned.But in the end, he managed to return to his hometown.Yang Jing, who has been to Siberia, knows very well the harshness of Siberia, and it took three years for one person to cross Siberia, which is naturally more difficult than four people crossing the North American continent.The most important thing is that this movie is based on a true story, that is, there is such a person in history who took three years to complete the feat of crossing Siberia on foot!
Yang Jing told these two people about the movie "Polar Rebirth", these two people have not seen this German movie, but after hearing Yang Jing's story, they immediately regarded the protagonist in the movie as a celestial!
may have found a common topic, and Nicole, who was originally a little shy, gradually let go, "Tony and I came to challenge the California hiking trail this time, in fact, we were encouraged by Jeff's feat of crossing the North American continent, otherwise the two of us would not dare to directly challenge this super difficult route."
But now it looks like we've done pretty well. ”"Tony, Nicole, I'm sure the two of you will be able to complete this challenge without a hitch.The reason why Jeff Enzos and the four of them were able to accomplish that feat also had a lot to do with the million-dollar reward.As for the two of you, you can take the initiative to challenge this line without any material stimulation, and I think you two are much better than that Jeff. ”"Haha, Albert, thank you for the compliment."
Tony laughed heartily."
I'm not complimenting you, I'm just telling you the truth, I'll tell you, when I met Jeff and the four of them in Alett last year, they were very embarrassed, and they had to follow my ship back to the North American continent, but I didn't say yes, because we were going to leave for Siberia from Alet.You went to Alat and it was already remarkable, and you went to Siberia?
”Nicole was very curious."
That's right, last year I took my fiancée to rent a polar research ship and go around the Arctic Ocean" Since the conversation was quite speculative, Yang Jing didn't mind telling the two of them about the trip to the North Pole last year.Sure enough, the trip to the North Pole stunned the two of them."
Albert, I envy you for being able to go around the North Pole like this.""
Haha, Tony, going to the North Pole is nothing, I'm going to go around the South Pole by the end of this year.How about it, are you two interested in going together?
If you're interested, I can keep two tickets for both of you. ”For the couple who met by chance, Yang Jing felt very good.
