Mt. Cammerer a beautiful hike, not nearly as busy as Mt. LeConte
Mt Cammerer Fire Tower的点评
点评:I went via the Low Gap trail from the Cosby Campground. I saw only one person while I was climbing, until I got to the AT, which was busy. Lots of trillium, painted trillium, and other beautiful wildflowers. There were a couple of stream crossings, which the only one which was a little dicey was the first one, but there are rocks you can hop on. You can get a bit of glimpse of beautiful views on the way up. It is pretty steep until you get around the AT, then it levels out a good bit along the ridge until the final half mile to the tower, where you have to cross some heavy mud and do a little easy scrambling to get to the tower. It is very rocky and rooty for the most part. Had to concentrate on my footing. Be aware that the weather can change quickly. It started partly cloudy, but by the time I got to the tower, I saw a few seconds of a partial view before a cloud descended, it got really windy, temperature dropped to very cold such that fingers were numb- I put on my fleece, which helped a lot. There is no bathroom in the tower. Going down is hard on the knees. Took me 3 hours to go up and 2.5 hours to go down. It is a beautiful hike, just wish I had been rewarded with a good view at the top!
翻译:我从科斯比露营地出发,沿着低谷小径前行。在攀登过程中,我只看到一个人,直到我到达繁忙的 AT。这里有许多延龄草、彩绘延龄草和其他美丽的野花。有几条小溪要穿过,其中唯一有点危险的是第一条,但那里有岩石可以跳上去。上山途中,您可以瞥见一些美丽的景色。在绕过 AT 之前,这条路非常陡峭,然后沿着山脊逐渐变平,直到最后半英里到达塔楼,在那里您必须穿过一些厚厚的泥浆,然后进行一些轻松的攀爬才能到达塔楼。大部分路段都是岩石和树根。我必须集中精力站稳脚跟。请注意天气变化很快。一开始是多云,但当我到达塔楼时,我看到了几秒钟的部分景色,然后一片云就落了下来,风很大,温度降到了非常低,手指都麻木了——我穿上了羊毛衫,这很有帮助。塔里没有卫生间。下山对膝盖很不利。我花了 3 个小时上去,又花了 2.5 个小时下去。这是一次美丽的徒步旅行,只是希望我能在山顶看到美景!
