Sorry, this entry is only available in 美式英文 It has taken me a while to get around to writing about this hike. It’s not that QiLuZhiKeShan – 耆路知可山 was particularly difficult, but because I attempted it three times. Writing about it feels like I’m going back for a fourth...

Sorry, this entry is only available in 美式英文 September was a month of backup plans and failed hikes for me it seems. First I couldn’t make it to MuDanLuShan 牡丹路山 and went to ShiMenShan 虱母山 instead. Then the following week I had a problem with my hike to QiLuZhiKeShan...

在大量的土石流區域頂端,你可以看見大武藏山。它不是怎麼有名的高峰,甚至沒有標記點。大部分的人都直接路過,前往其他著名的山。但上週我選它當作這次挑戰的目標! 大武藏山,海拔1630米,大致在卡山和久保山之間。奇怪的是,在我的幾個地圖集裡都沒有看到大武藏山,甚至連個“山“的名稱都不給,讓我懷疑這是否真的是座山? 算了, 管它是不是,估算後,其實來回距離的時間,也剛好消磨一天的路程! 路徑的開頭就在山上老七家和力力溪河的對面。如果你曾經看過這座雕像,你大概就知道路徑開頭在哪裡了! 幾乎整個上去的路段,風景都好美! 我大約早上八點半到達路徑開頭,接著騎著稍微可以看得出是路的路,能騎多少遠算多遠。在這之前,我已經來探路幾次,之前去南久保山的時候,徒步大約走了全路程的百分之二十。 只要有像樣的路徑,爬行的開始都蠻簡單的 (圖片有點糟,抱歉) 沿途也可以欣賞南久保山的美麗景色。 過不久,你會來到一個小坍方處。 可以看見幾個黃色箭頭的噴漆圖樣,指引方向。 From where I parked it took me just under an hour to reach what I call “the crossroads”. 從我停車的地方走到圖中的這個“十字路口”不到一小時。 這是大武藏山、久保山和南久保山的交會處,是個很棒的休憩點。週邊還有更多的指示,引導想上山的人們。看到那眼鏡了沒? 是好心人士所設置的失物招領呢! 休息一下後繼續前進大武藏山。 這一個小時還算平安渡過,路好走, 方向也清楚, 雖然一路上沒什麼有趣的可看,但就在不久的某處,我終於看見大武藏的身影! 越走,植物分布越來越茂密,但還是很好分辨路在哪裡。 後來,我還是被植物包圍了。接著我來到比較空曠的區域,旁邊都是高高的草。GPX 顯示的路線都是沿著山脊線,但當我走到山脊,雜草長得滿滿滿,所以我沿著另一條路徑來到這比較寬闊的區域。 雖然草地上混著很多石頭,看起來像是幾條路線分別前往不同的方向。這部分拖慢了我的速度,但值得一提的是,景色真的很讚! 連續兩週,我站在河床上抬頭看著大武藏山,如今,我正站在大武藏山上向下看著! 這就是我提到的高草群,遠處看還蠻美的,但當你靠近而整個脖子都被包圍的時候,根本只想逃走。 當我走到草群盡頭,我發現一件事: 有一堆石頭被整齊堆疊起來。其實要不是因為它們的形狀,我應該不會注意到它們。標準的方形,規格就像我之前看過很多次的原住民老屋一樣。 再往這條路徑向上走幾小時,我不覺得會有個“古老“被廢棄的原住民村落。但這石頭結構絕對跟以前的村落有關,可能是休息站…也或許是跟想像完全不一樣的東西。我不確定是否還有原住民住在這裡,與村落隔離,因為在這區域,我只發現這堆整齊的石頭結構,實在有趣! 我在這裡又休息了一下,然後繼續往峰頂前去。 經過雜草叢生的區域,來到一條有比較多樹木比較容易走的路徑。 不知道你們從上面的照片有沒有發現這是條舊路?...
