Snow Roads through the Cairngorms - WORTH IT!!!!
Cairngorms National Park的点评
点评：We drove through the Cairngorms on the Snow Roads, from south to north. The roads are fine!!! We almost skipped the snow roads because we were worried they would be too extreme for us (esp driving standard on the left side of the road!), but they were actually much better than we expected (I am used to mountain roads in Colorado, like the Alpine Loop, and this was a piece of cake compared to mountain roads in the US). There is a long stretch north of Ballater that is single track and you have to pull off the side when encountering another car, but for the most part it was relatively easy, and the roads didn’t have many other cars on it. There are a lot of pullovers that you can use both for scenic outlooks and to pass another car. All of that being said, I would be much more nervous in winter if the roads were slushy or icy, though people clearly drive them in winter to access the ski resort areas. 🤷🏼♀️
The scenery is gorgeous, throughout the entire length of the drive. We stopped in Ballater for lunch and it was a lovely town with friendly people, and we would stay there on a future trip as a base for doing more exploring of the park. We stopped at Balmoral Castle for a quick picture of the gates (it was closed for the season because the royal family was in residence), and King Charles drove out while we were standing there - so we didn’t get to see the castle but we did see the king!
Finally, watch out for sheep in the road! They are…plentiful.

翻译：我们从南向北沿着雪路穿过凯恩戈姆山脉。路况很好！！！我们差点就跳过了雪路，因为我们担心雪路对我们来说太过极端（尤其是左侧驾驶标准！），但实际上雪路比我们预期的要好得多（我习惯了科罗拉多州的山路，比如阿尔卑斯山环路，与美国的山路相比，这条路简直是小菜一碟）。巴拉特以北有一段很长的路是单行道，遇到另一辆车时你必须靠边停车，但大部分路段相对容易，路上没有太多其他车辆。有很多停车区，你既可以用来欣赏风景，也可以用来超车。话虽如此，如果冬天的路很泥泞或结冰，我会更紧张，尽管冬天人们显然会开车去滑雪胜地。🤷🏼♀️
整个路程的风景都很美。我们在巴拉特停下来吃午饭，那是一个可爱的小镇，人们都很友好，我们下次旅行时会把这里作为进一步探索公园的基地。我们在巴尔莫勒尔城堡停下来，快速拍了一张大门的照片（由于皇室成员居住，城堡因季节原因关闭），我们站在那里的时候，查理国王开车走了——所以我们没能看到城堡，但我们看到了国王！
最后，小心路上的绵羊！它们……很多。
