科罗拉多州
看秋叶是多年向往已久的旅行。那里有个城市叫Aspen，秋天时，漫山遍野白杨树会为大地披上金装。那里还有著名落基山国家公园，是徒步者喜爱的地方。这次去之前，准备了三件事：1）找医生开了防高山反应药、因为要爬上近似
西藏
拉萨
海拔高度。2）因为疫情国家公园限制人数，需要前一天傍晚5PM在网上抢门票。3）提早预约秋叶著名风景点Maroon Bells门票。

市只需要两小时。下机取车后、先来到朋友家。他们房子超大，6000平方尺。他们热情款待我们美酒美食晚餐、还挽留我们住在他家VIP总统客层。可是为了第二天早点进入公园爬山，我们饭后和他们告别，开车去了公园附近旅馆。
Going to Colorado to see autumn leaves is a long-awaited trip for many years. There is a city called Aspen. In autumn, aspen trees all over the mountains will cover the earth with gold. There is also the famous Rocky Mountain National Park, which is a favorite place for hikers. Before going this time, we prepared three things: 1) Get anti-altitude sickness medicine from doctor, because we had to climb the altitude similar to Lhasa, Tibet. 2) Because of the epidemic, number of people into the park is limited, it is necessary to grab pass online at 5PM the night before. 3) Reserve tickets for Maroon Bells, a famous scenic spot in autumn leaves in advance.
It only takes two hours to fly from San Francisco to Denver. After getting off the plane and picking up the car, we drove to a friend's house. Their house is very large, 6000 square feet. They treated us warmly for wine, food and dinner, and they also offered staying in their VIP guest house. But in order to enter into the park early to climb the mountain the next day, we said goodbye to them after dinner and drove to the hotel near the park.
Sky Pond Trail
Sky Pond Trail来回9英里，从9200尺海拔高出发，攀登1800尺高,。进入Trail Head需要有Bear Lake Rd Corridor Access Pass. Pass是前一天在网上5PM开放几百张票，几秒钟内会被抢光。我们有幸拿到一张。听朋友说夏天来时，因为没有拿到Pass，只好早起5AM前来，不用Pass。
我们9:00am进公园、坐公园公车来到Trail Head。一路上看着远处绿油油落基山脉，经过一条秋叶旁瀑布、来到一段需要手脚并用攀登50-90度岩石堆。心里有些慌，不过，既然来了，不到长城非好汉，硬着头皮上吧。攀上岩石后，有两个高山湖，湖后山上看得一丝冰川。随着地球暖化，冰川会越来越小吧？
The Sky Pond Trail is 9 miles round trip hiking, starting from an altitude of 9,200 feet and climbing 1,800 feet. A Bear Lake Rd Corridor Access Pass is required to enter into the trail head. The park releases a few hundred Passes on internet at 5PM the day before, and they will be gone within a few seconds. We were lucky enough to get one. I heard from my friends because they didn't get the Pass, they had to come to park before 5AM in very early morning when the Pass is not needed.
We entered into the park at 9:00am and took the shuttle bus to the trail head. Along the hiking trail, we looked at the green Rocky Mountains in the distance, passed a waterfall next to autumn leaves, and came to a section that required using both hands and feet to climb 50-90 degree rock piles. I felt a little flustered, but we were very close to the top, “One who falls to reach the Great Wall is not a hero“，let's bite the bullet. After climbing the rock, there are two high mountain lakes, and there is a glacier on the mountain behind the lakes. As the earth global warms, glaciers will get smaller and smaller.
Chasm Lake Trail
Chasm Lake Trail来回8.5英里，从9400尺海拔高度出发，爬上2500尺。这里9AM之前不需要Pass。我们到时，停车场已满、不过可以停在路两边。也许是高反药帮助，我们一路没有出现头痛等症状，只是比平时爬山吃力，因为缺氧吧？中途一队像是超大Lamar驮着东西快速超过我们。快到山顶时，视野豁然开朗、五彩缤纷高山植物漫山遍野、顿时觉得心旷神怡、疲劳消失了。最后一段又需要攀登50-70度石堆，咬咬牙上，再做一次好汉吧。
Chasm Lake Trail is 8.5 miles round trip hiking, starting from an altitude of 9,400 feet and climbing up to 2,500 feet. The Pass is not required before 9AM. When we arrived, the parking lot was full, but we could park on sides of the road. Perhaps it was the help of anti-altitude sickness medicine, we did not have headaches and other symptoms, but it was more difficult than usual to climb the mountain because of lack of oxygen. We saw a team seemed to be oversized Lamar carrying things quickly overtaking us. When we reached to the near top of the mountain, our vision suddenly became brighter and the colorful alpine plants were all over the mountains. we felt refreshed and our fatigue disappeared. In the last section, we need to climb 50-70 degrees of rock piles and be a hero again.
