Section 919 The loneliness of the passage of time

Yunluo found out from the Internet that the sunrise time of Grand Teton was 6:15 in the morning, and in order to find a location earlier, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu got up from the camp at half past five. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe recent climate has been so dry that I can't even see any dew in the morning, and the dry and cold sneakers on the dry and cold feet have quickly readjusted to each other.

The surrounding campsites are still quiet and sleepy, with the occasional sporadic night light on some RVs. The feeling of waking up early for the sunrise is always proud, proud of the moments you're about to experience that they'll all miss, proud of your determination to not let laziness stop appreciating beauty.

The location chosen by Yunluo and Yan Shenyu to watch the sunrise is Oxbowbend, which is not far from the camp, about a twenty-minute drive from Yunluo and Yan Shenyu tent.

Oxbowbend is located at the bend of a small river which, along with the surrounding reeds, together with a hill in the distance, forms a classic landscape. It should be emphasized that the so-called sunrise that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu want to watch is not to watch the sun rise from the horizon from afar, but to enjoy the peaks that are turned pink by the first rays of the morning sun.

Oxbowbend is easy to find in the main road that runs through Grand Teton from north to south, and it's on the right side of the road. When Yunluo and Yan Shenyu arrived here, they found that there were already three or four photography enthusiasts who had set up their tripods and were ready to go. Yunluo also found a good angle for them and put on Yunluo's relatively cheap tripod.

The sky began to slowly brighten, the hills in the distance were still cold blue-black, the lake was calm without a single ripple, the straight reeds and the blackened forest stood still, and Yunluo felt the whole earth hold its breath, waiting for the divine beam.

By about 6:17, the top of the mountain slowly began to glow. This magnificent sunrise officially kicked off. From the top of the mountain to the mountainside, the mountain immediately became hot, and even the air around the mountain seemed to feel the power of the sun becoming brighter and more vivid.

At the same time as the sunrise, a thin layer of water vapor is also alive on the water surface, and the hazy feeling is like the finishing touch to make the sunrise scene more vivid. While admiring the incredible scenery in front of him, Yunluo pressed the shutter again and again, recording this metamorphosis from night to dawn.

But the camera can never capture this shock perfectly, and only with your eyes can you really feel this understated and gorgeous performance. And this low-key contains a huge indescribable power. It's as if a giant is quietly waking up.

A feast for the eyes came to an end as the sky grew brighter, and the whole Grand Teton began their normal day after this magnificent appearance ceremony. This sunrise made Yunluo gain a lot of wonderful photos, and Yunluo and Yan Shenyu once again felt glad that they did not sleep lazily.

You won't experience this kind of scene a few times in your life, and you have to cherish each time like the last. Today's weather is still sunny and dry, and the gradually rising temperature reminds Yunluo and Yan Shenyu that this is still summer.

Back at camp from Oxbowbend, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu briefly freshened up and prepared to start the day. As Yunluo mentioned before, the best time to visit Grand Teton is in the morning, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu don't want to waste the hours when the sun is still in the east.

In the morning, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu want to go to the inspirationpoint west of Grand Teton (every national park has such a point, the scenery is beautiful. Good for hiking), climb to this inspirationpoint just right for a panoramic view of Lake Jenny.

From the visitor center at Jenny Lake, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, there are two ways to get to Inspirationpoint, either by hiking along the lake, bypassing the lake and starting the climb, or by taking a ferry directly to the other side of the lake and climbing from there. The former method takes five or six hours, while the latter option takes just over two hours to complete.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu felt that since the most beautiful sections were on the other side of the lake. Then there was no need to spend so long hiking, so I bought a round-trip ticket directly to the other side. On Jenny Lake, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu better appreciate the green mountains and green waters around it. A beautiful landscape and a lush greenery.

The impression that the beautiful Grand Teton gave to Yunluo was simply too good, and any scene transmitted to Yunluo's brain was picturesque and delicious. Yunluo doesn't understand why many tourists only stay in this park for a few hours and then leave, and Yunluo can't enjoy this scenery enough for a week.

After getting off the boat, we started the hike to Inspirationpoint. Today is the ninth day of the journey, and after many hiking experiences, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu don't feel too hard about this seemingly bumpy road. Coupled with the beautiful scenery around them, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu feel that this is more enjoyable.

The trail leads from the bottom of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, and there are streams and small waterfalls everywhere, so the walk is not monotonous at all. It took Yunluo and Yan Shenyu about an hour to come to this inspirationpoint, and the suddenly widened vision shocked Yunluo and Yan Shenyu a little.

From this viewpoint, you can overlook the beauty of Jenny Lake. You can also overlook the majesty of Teton Mountain in the distance, which makes people feel refreshed.

Yunluo and Yan Shenyu are ready to save the afternoon time for a lazy campsite. Take a nap in the tent, wash up the dirty laundry you've saved over the past few days, grill a steak and watch the sunset by the lake next to the tent.

In the afternoon, not only was there no cold breath in the tent, but the sultry air also made Yun Luo wake up in a hurry after not sleeping for long. A few bees have been coming to say hello since last night, and today I saw Yunluo and Yan Shenyu returning from their trip, buzzing in the ears of Yunluo and Yan Shenyu.

Well, they didn't go Yunluo and Yan Shenyu, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went to the laundry room of the service center with a large basket of clothes. The washing machines here are very large and advanced, and Yunluo and Yan Shenyu can easily swallow a week's clothes.

While waiting for the laundry, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu also met an old American man who could speak fluent Chinese, he stayed on the treasure island for more than ten years, made a living as a missionary and teaching, and moved to Colorado with his wife after returning to the United States, bought an RV to travel around, and enjoyed his old age. Yunluo was very encouraged by them and decided that he would do the same when he was old.

Today's barbecue went much more smoothly, and with yesterday's experience, I was able to go from life to eating meat in one go, and I was full before dark.

After eating the barbecue, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went to Jackson Lake next to the camp to enjoy the sunset. Yunluo is very grateful to the old man who checked in Yunluo and Yan Shenyu at that time for giving Yunluo and Yan Shenyu a camping location so close to the lake, and they can have a glimpse of the lake and mountains on a three-minute walk.

The sunset at Grand Teton feels completely different from the sunrise, which is a gorgeous color and a quiet warmth at sunset.

Two nights of camping in Grand Teton came to an end, and I got up in the morning and began to clean the few square meters of the "hotel". Two days of life in the wild produced a lot of garbage, and Yunluo packed a garbage bag. Because I had "rehearsed" the rapid collection of tents before coming, it was quite efficient to restore the land to its original state.

The next important issue is bathing. This is the third day that Yunluo and Yan Shenyu have not taken a bath, and on the first day, because the journey is tiring and the meat is already dark after roasting, they are too lazy to wash; The next day, I wanted to finish eating the barbecue and wash off the barbecue smell on my body, but the water heater in the bathroom broke down.

It is unknown when it will be repaired, so Yunluo and Yan Shenyu can only try their luck this morning. Yunluo's hair can make flies split, and the putty accumulated on his body can pretend to weigh three catties, and he really can't stand it if he doesn't take a bath.

But thankfully, when I went to the bathroom again today, the grandmother inside said that the hot water was already available, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's embarrassed appearance and the eyes that longed to take a bath.

The shower area in this camp is well designed, there is a small cubicle outside each shower room to change clothes, and the hot water is also hot enough, so that the body can fully dispel the cold after freezing all night. After taking a bath, Yunluo felt refreshed, walking like flying, and felt that even the air was sweet, which was called a refreshing. If it weren't for this bath, I wouldn't have had enough fun today.

This morning's itinerary is still Grand Teton, and in the afternoon we will go straight to Yellowstone. After two days of shuttling back and forth in the park, the scenery of Grand Teton Yunluo and Yan Shenyu also appreciated the same, and on the last day, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu wanted to come down and take photos at those viewing points along the way, and if you were lucky, you could see some wild animals.

The last thing Yunluo and Yan Shenyu want to go to is the famous granary of Grand Teton - not that this granary is famous, but because of the classic picture formed by this granary with the mountain peaks behind it, I don't know how many postcards and travel magazines have made this small granary the target of every tourist.

After seeing this granary, it is officially the end of the journey to Grand Teton. There is not much to say about those viewing points, each of which has obvious signs on the side of the road, and you can come down to watch the scenery when you turn into the parking lot, without taking any mountain roads.

The granary is not easy to find, the map given at the entrance of the park does not indicate the location of this granary, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu also asked the park management before setting a location on the map.

It was on a fork in the road south of Grand Teton called Anelopeflatsroad, and when Yunluo and Yan Shenyu went, they were just in time for this road, which was closed because of road construction, and they could only make another half an hour's detour from a potholed gravel road to approach this granary.

But the hard detour was not in vain, before approaching the granary, Yunluo and Yan Shenyu enjoyed a large picture of North American bison eating lunch, they were only a few meters away from Yunluo and Yan Shenyu's car, but they also completely ignored Yunluo and Yan Shenyu eating grass comfortably.
