4-12. Aster Park

Hiking Time: 1.5 to 2.5 hours

公園的Two Medicine這區有幾條短步道,Aster Park是其中之一。步道口在Two Medicine Lake坐船旁邊的South Shore Trailhead,而這步道也可以走到比如Upper Two Medicine Lake或是Cobalt Lake等其他地方。

Figure 4-12.6: 另一個角度,最左邊的山是Sinopah Mountain,最右邊的是Rising Wolf,而Rising Wolf旁邊那個山峰應該是Flinsch Peak。

Aster Park算是一個眺望點,需要往上爬一小段,但坡度應該還好,途中還會經過Aster Falls。雖然是個眺望點,但大部分的角度都被樹擋住,所以效果不算很理想。雖然如此,走到這的人還不少就是。到達Aster Park之前的湖邊會經過一條通往Paradise Point的短叉路,稍微繞一下不算費力,但也不容易有特別的收穫。

這不是個會讓你印象深刻的步道,不過如果你人剛好就在Two Medicine而且有幾個小時的時間不曉得該做甚麼事,走到Aster Park是個選項。
