ʻO kahi REI Basecamp kahi-o-nā-ʻano i hiki i ka RMNP
Hiki i nā ala uʻi i kaʻike maikaʻi loa.
Akā ināʻoe hou i ka Rocky Mountain wao nahele, hiki iā ia ke hopohopo a hopohopo paha i ka hopuʻana i kahi peʻa hope a me ka holoʻana i ka'āina mauna.
ʻOiai me kahi puke alakaʻi a me GPS, hiki keʻoni i ka huli hewa. Ināʻikeʻoleʻoe i nā alahele,ʻaʻoleʻoe iʻike i kahi mea hiki ke paniʻia a iʻole i keʻano o nā hiʻona'āina likeʻole a me nā mea kanu. ʻAʻole e haʻi aku i nā'ōpala a me nā hae i nā lāʻau; ināʻaʻoleʻoe i aʻoʻia ma ka wao nahele e ola,ʻaʻoleʻoe iʻike i nā hōʻailona hōʻailona no nā beleʻeleʻele a me nā liona mauna.
ʻO ia ke kumu e ola ai nā hikes alakaʻi. ʻAʻole wale no nā kumu pono - uaʻike kēia mau alakaʻi i ka hiki iāʻoe ma laila a hoʻi me ka maluhia - akā, no ka leʻaleʻa. Hiki ke aʻoʻia nā alakaʻi mahele ma nā mea kanu, nā holoholona a me ka moʻolelo o ia wahi, a hiki iā ia ke aʻo iāʻoe i kekahi mea,ʻoiaiʻoe e hana i kekahi hana.
ʻO kekahi o nā papahana hou loa o ka REI Basecamp, i weheʻia i kēia kauwela, mai kahi kaulanaʻo Stanley ma Estes Park. ʻO kēia ka polokalamu waho waho o ka REI ma ka honua, a eia ka makahiki mua.
Eia keʻano o ka ho'ākākaʻana o nā mākaʻi o ka polokalamu: "E noʻonoʻo inā he hokele ka mea i hoʻokumu i kahi concierge mahele; piha piha ia i nā alakaʻi a me nā haku kūloko i waho; hāʻawi iā lākou i ko lākou kahua pono'ī ma kahi kūʻai; hoʻopiha i kēlā kahua hoʻomoana me nā meaʻoi aku luna kiʻekiʻe; a weheʻia i nā malihini a me ka lehulehu. "
ʻAʻole ponoʻoe e lilo i malihini ma Stanley e hoʻohana i ka polokalamu.
ʻO ka REI Basecamp he launa pū ma waena o ka polokalamu hoʻonaʻauaoʻo REI puka waho a me ka Stanley Hotel, kahi mamao aku i kahi mile mai ka Rocky Mountain National Park.
Aia ma mua o 100,000 mau kānaka e noho aʻike iā Stanley i kēlā me kēia makahiki. He hale nuiʻo ia (e'ōlelo nei he haunana ia a uaʻikeʻia ma Stephen King ka "The Shining").
Hōʻike ka papahana i kahi papa inoa o nā hana ma ka hoʻoilo a me ke kauwela, mai ka holoʻana i ke ola a me ka hoʻonaʻauaoʻana o First Aid - nāʻano āpau a me nā'ōnaehana hoʻonaʻauao.
Hiki iāʻoe keʻike i nā hikes o ka lā a me nā papahana kūikawā, e like me "How to Climb a Fournneener" a me "Ke kiʻi kelepona".
"Ke kikoo nei ka Stanley e lilo i kikowaena olakino a me ka maikaʻi e pili ana i ka hoʻohuiʻana a me ka REI waho o ke kula i kahi noho o waho," wahi a John Sheppard, ke pelekikena divisional REI o Outdoor Programs, ma kahi palapala i kākauʻia. "Mai nā lā i waho e hāʻawi ai i nā mea holo i kahi manaʻo hou e pili ana i kahi o nā paka'āina aloha'āina i nā hui kahi e hiki ai i nā haumāna ke hana i nāʻoihana o ke ahi e puhi uē ana, ke kakali nei mākou i ka hāʻawiʻana i nā papa a me nā hanana no nā pono āpau."
E koho i kahi hanana e pili ana i kou makemake a me ka hoʻonohonohoʻana a hālāwai i ka hale nui REI waho i mua o ka hokele. Ma mua, e hoʻokomo i kāu leka uila i ka mea e lole ai a hoʻopaʻa ai, no lailaʻaʻoleʻoe e hōʻike i ka hikiʻole.
Ma ka hale lole, e nānā nā kauka i kāu ukana a hoʻopiha i nā puka inā ponoʻoe (e like me ka hāʻawiʻana i nā pole hilinaʻi, inā ponoʻoe i kahi pai akāʻaʻole i hoʻokomo hoʻokahi). A laila, e hopena i kahi'aleʻa e hoʻokuʻu pololei iāʻoe i ka pana o ka moku - no laila e hoʻoholo i ka pono e kūʻai i kahi kaʻa pākuʻu, hoʻololi i kāu kaʻa ma nā'apili'āpana, aʻike i kahi kaʻa (kahi e hiki ai ke hana maoli i nā hebedoma wikiwiki ).
Kele iho nei ka van i ka pololei ma ke alahele, a alakaʻi ka alakaʻi i ke ala i kahi e holo ai. ʻO kekahi o nā alahele he hikes kaulana,ʻoiai, heʻuʻuku iki nā mea'ē aʻe. Hiki i kahi o ka holoʻana i nā kaipuni wai, aiʻole eʻimi i kahi o nā ala kahiko loa ma ka nahele ulu. ʻO kā mākou punahele,ʻo ia ka holoʻana i ka moanaʻo Haiyaha.
ʻO ka Lake Haiyaha hike
Ke hoomaka nei ia ma ke ala kaulana a me ke alanui e holo ana i ke kahawai o Nymph, aka, ma kahi o ka mile mile mile ka pii ana o ka pii kiekie - me ka hopena kiekie o 865 kapuai - ua nui ka poe. I ka wā e hiki aiʻoe i ka moanaʻo Haiyaha (ʻo ia hoʻiʻo "nā pōhaku" a kapaʻiaʻo ia no nā pōhaku nui e pani ana i nā kahakai),ʻoʻoe hoʻokahi wale nō o nā lima o nā mea holo i koe - ināʻaʻoleʻoe hoʻokahi wale.
Ma nā kapa o kēia nani, aia ka loko o ka lokoʻo Rocky Mountain National Park.
Ma ka hike, hiki iāʻoe ke loaʻa ka manaʻo kūpono loa no Long's Peak, kekahi o nā Quateeners i aloha nuiʻia (nā mauna iʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe he 14,000 kapuaʻi) -ʻo ia hoʻi kaʻaoʻao hope loa o Long's, he mea iʻikeʻoleʻia. ʻO ke kai e kahe ana i waho o Chaos Canyon.
Eia pū,ʻaʻole e hiki i nā mea hoʻokele ke haʻalele iā Hallett Peak a me Otis Peak (aʻaʻoleʻoe e haʻalele iā lākou, no ka kuhikuhiʻana o ke alakaʻi iā lākou).
Me ka loiloi REI, hāʻawiʻiaʻoe i kaʻaina awakea maʻalāʻau, kahi e ola ai nā haumāna ma ka moana, ma mua o ka hoʻiʻana i lalo. ʻO ka hoʻoilina ka manawa paʻakikī loa, akā,ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki.
