6-27. Narrow Gauge Terrace
Figure 6-27.1: Narrow Gauge Terrace的步道口就在Liberty Cap的旁邊。
Figure 6-27.2: 兩隻elk走到Palette Spring的下方。
Figure 6-27.3: 這一早的步道上有不少elk，這個有方向指示牌的地方不要過橋而是要往左。
Figure 6-27.4: 一段上坡後就會到達Narrow Gauge Terrace。
Figure 6-27.5: 這天的Narrow Gauge Terrace有在冒蒸氣，但不算很active。
Figure 6-27.6: 步道旁的另一群elk。
Figure 6-27.7: 這角度可以看到平常看不到的Palette Spring角度。
Mammoth Hot Springs這區的主要地熱景觀是travertine terraces，大部分都可以靠boardwalk或是scenic drive欣賞到。Narrow Gauge Terrace算是一個例外，必須走一段步道才看得到。好消息是，只要走個來回約1 mile就可以搞定。
步道口就在離Palette Spring不遠的Liberty Cap另一側，跟走去Beaver Ponds Loop是同一個步道口，但走不用多久在一座木橋前的交叉口得往左走就是，之後走一小段緩上坡就會到達。這段路的寬度窄了點，但安全性我覺得還好。我走的時候有不少elk在步道旁，三不五時還聽到新生elk的叫聲，理論上順著聲音可以看到藏在樹叢或草叢裡的小鹿。不過步道旁的elk媽一直瞪著我，所以還是乖乖走在步道上就好。
Narrow Gauge Terrace看起來並不特別，跟當時不太active有關係，有更多水流出來的話欣賞效果應該會更好。不過步道的某些地方可以往下看到Palette Spring，是從boardwalk看不到的角度，是另外的收獲，有長鏡頭或是望遠鏡的話會更好。
雖然走這一趟不算特別有收獲，來回只要半小時也不算太花時間，到時候看著辦即可。
