ELAHO TO MEAGER的backpacking计划(有温泉泡)

lulululu · 发表于 2007-4-14 16:39:45

Stoltmann Wilderness
ELAHO to MEAGER TRAIL (Squamish and Lil'wat first Nations Territory)

这条trail单程为22km，从Elaho River TH (Squamish)一直到Meager Creek TH (Pemberton)，由Western Canada Wilderness Committee开辟（以前给我们做过讲座的Steve曾参与修建此trail，可以从他那里得到一些信息，另外我自己也收录了路线图, GPS waypoints），如果到Meager Cr. Hotsprings只要再多加上6km的logging road。这条trail在被提议的Stoltmann National Park的中心地段,hiking的时间五月份到十月份均可。

现在到Meager Cr. Hotsprings的Lillooet River上的桥还没有消息，所以目前要走这条线的话要算上来回，即要三到四天时间。如果桥通的话，可以两天完成。

这条trail一路上河谷，高山湖，草甸，多彩的火山岩裂谷....千年的Douglas fir/Red Cedar，沿路也有很多可食野果......

现在开始计划，希望能够尽早成行

据说桥已通了，有人走过。

Info from Bivouac:

Elaho-Meager Trail (Stoltmann Wilderness Trail)

How To Find: The Elaho valley is dominated by rocky, partly rugged terrain. Up to the timberline (at about 1,400 to 1,500 m) the valley is mostly covered by continuous forest. On either side of the trail are large alpine areas with large snow and ice fields at about 2,000 m. The highest peak in the area is Mt Boardman (2,651 m) close to Clendenning Creek. Extensive areas above 1,800 m are still covered by glaciers. At its highest point, the trail passes through an alpine meadow which features dozens of lakes. These lakes make for wonderful swimming in August and September. From this point, several spectacular peaks overlooking the Pemberton Icefield can be ascended. The trail can be accessed either from the south end or the north end.

History: The trail construction was co-ordinated by the Western Canada Wilderness Committee in 1995 and attracted volunteers from far away lands like Ontario and Europe to help preserve the area from logging. The trail is fairly well marked once you get started. Another less known branch goes directly up the Meager creek to the large lake (Volunteer lake?) at UTM 623 975.

Destinations: The Elaho-Meager Trail is a multi-day backpacking trail which takes you through a unique ecological area behind the Pemberton Icecap, that was very rarely visited before the trail made it possible.

Bulletins:
2006.06.24 Vito Gudaitis:

Easy Access to South End of Trail: The south end of the trail is 2W drive accessible, with the exception of a log fallen accross the road around mile 61. It's only the tip of a large cedar that's in the way. It could be easily cut off with a bow saw. Wood bits and rocks have been piled around it so that it can be driven over, but clearance is useful. To find the trailhead drive up the Elaho Main just past mile 59. Turn left at the E1000 sign and stay on E1000 until about mile 64, where the road crosses Lava Creek on a substantial bridge, high above the creek. Take the left spur just after the crossing; it terminates at the trailhead a short distance from the bridge. E1000 is rough in places but basically in good shape, with no waterbars except for some shallow ones right next to the Lava Creek bridge. These are partly filled in with small logs. *

The Elaho river is located in a 50 metre deep canyon, therefore no access exists. only in the spring and early summer can all of the creeks and lakes showed on the map be used as a fresh source of drinking water. Beginning mid-July the smaller creeks along the trail start to dry out. Access to fresh drinking water may be limited to only several larger creeks.

meager creek上的桥已经通了，枫下客的同事去年就曾经站在新修的桥上，只是Lillooet River桥上有人看守，不让通过。所以单程距离应该是22公里(Elaho TH到Meager TH)+6公里(Meager TH到温泉)＋7公里(温泉到Lillooet River)，共35公里，同时还要有人在Lillooet河边接应，送回Elaho TH取车。这段开车距离也不短，应该有2～300公里吧，大概2/3是logging路，而且最好要有4驱车，尤其是到Elaho TH。

刚刚看了一下lulu贴的地图和老虎的描述，我们要横穿吗？

上次您們想去Meager Creek溫泉也找不到, 那個軍人樣指你們去了另一溫泉(Pot ??)。好像這地方挺難找, 是不是當地人不喜歡外來人享用那處溫泉？

走来回会比较好些，横穿的话需要有足够的车辆在约定的时间内到Lillooet河边接应，若没有足够的车辆，来回取车接人非常耗时的。trail head一头在pemberton，还得沿Logging Road往里开7～80公里，另一头在Squamich，过了HighFall还得往里开好几十公里的Logging Road。

我的建议：沿途共有5个Camping营地，我们可以第一天在最后一个或第四个营地扎营露宿，第二天轻身上路泡温泉，晚上再回营地住宿，第三天往回走。

这是一条非常好的Trail，非常的原始，但是正如LuLu和老虎说的，走通过的人很少，但是非常的值得，我想那里面熊一定会不少，非常想和千年的老杉树去合张影。
