西雅圖星期六的天氣預報是下雨, 星期天是陰天, 原本想說這週末就休息八~打算帶Katie去附近書店聽聽story time, 也可以來去stump town 參加下午三點的cuping, 有時間的話, 還可以來去逛Goodwills的 outlet , ...結果, 星期六一睡醒睜開眼睛居然發現陽光閃耀...這是怎麼回事阿? 這時候BEN說, 算了八, 明天星期天再來去short hike好了, Cyn說, 不行, 我的直覺告訴我, 只有今天天氣好...所以當機立斷, 一邊吃早餐一邊翻Guidebook, 被有一張漂亮照片的trail所吸引, 這Trail有很可愛的名字, 就叫Poo Poo Point.
Elevation Gain/High Point: 1650 ft/1850ft
Time Up: 1 hour, 40 minutes
Time Down: 1 hour
Distance: 7.4 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
How to get there:
Drive east on I-90 and take the Front St Exit (Exit 17). Make a right at Front St and turn left at Sunset Way. Turn right on 2nd Avenue, drive just past Issaquah High School and find the trailhead parking area on the left, just before the light at 2nd Avenue and Front St. Presently the trail is not signed but it is obvious. Follow the trail from the parking lot, and as you pass the high school stadium take a trail coming in from the right.
以上來自我們手上的guidebook,連washington trail Association的link也這麼寫,但大家千萬千萬不要這樣走,Poo Poo Point有另外一個走法,以地圖上的Ｂ為起點,入口明顯,距離也近很多,我們後來又造訪了一次, 發現輕鬆很多,正確的走法如下： from Interstate 90, take Exit 17 (eastbound or westbound) in Issaquah. Head south on Front Street, which becomes Issaquah-Hobart Road. The landing area is on the left side of Issaquah-Hobart Road, about three miles from the freeway, at the intersection with Southeast 113th Street. The trailhead for the hike up Tiger Mountain to the launch points is on the north side of the landing field. The trail passes the south launch and continues to the north launch. The 1.5-mile trail has a 1,650-foot elevation gain. 以下回到我們第一次的造訪... 這次的路線, 從一開始的Trail head 就不好找, 我們的guidebook沒有說的很清楚, 事實上, 她的入口也沒有任何的告示牌, 我們一直東張西望, 結果有好心的路人主動告訴我們"Yes, this is the trail to Poo Poo Point"...
入口的地方就是一個很小的parking lot, 大約可停3到4部車, 然後不要懷疑, 完全沒有任何的Sign, 就勇敢的往前走, 左手邊繞過體育館之後, 就向右邊的叉路走上去, 之後會先經過一個柵欄, 繼續往上走, 在出發了15~20分鐘之後, 我們終於看到了感人的第一個牌子, "Poo Poo Point Trail"
沿途森林茂密, 還經過漂亮的creek, 一個小時後, 我們到了跟tiger mountain的分叉點,
之後從hiking 變成了snowshoes...
剩下0.5mile 卻越走越下坡, 越走林子越密, 越走越心虛, 展望在哪? 沒有走錯嗎? 這時候我開了一個玩笑, 這Poo Poo Point, 最後會走到一個密林, 終點就是一間廁所, 就可以在那Poop Poop囉~ Ben一點也不捧場,笑都沒笑... 結果沒多久, 真的看到了一個好大的廁所...
展望呢? 就近在咫尺囉...
很壯觀八
這是paragliders and hang gliders的launch point, 因為天氣好, 看到好多paragliders在天空
我們在吃午餐的同時, 有個paraglider就直直降落在我們的面前, 繩子網住了一個美女, 不知道是不是故意的...?
Katie回家囉, 真的是完美的一個Sunny day~
後記: 其實這個Poo Poo其實是火車的聲音,The point is named for the sound of the train that used to chug around the mountain.
從Seattle times找到一篇文章, 介紹了另外一個路線,就是路線圖上標示B的地方開始走, 距離短很多, 後來又來走了一次, 快超多的
