In fact, the Rockies in winter have a more charm than summer. Yang Jing used to not feel the Rockies in winter, but now he suddenly comes here and truly feels the unique style of the Rockies in winter. This makes him unable to help but give up the idea of ​​traveling to the time and space of the 1980s, but instead prepares to walk along the mountain road and completely relax himself.

The Rockies are not only the backbone of North America, but also a paradise for North American hiking enthusiasts.

There are countless challenging hiking routes in the Rocky Mountains. Anyone who takes out any one can let hikers discuss for several days, such as the Yosemite National Park hiking route, or the Ordorado National Forest Park hiking route, of course, the California hiking route is indispensable, which is known as the most beautiful and difficult hiking route in the world.

The shortest length of this route is more than 800 kilometers. Although it is not as long as the longest hiking route in the world, the Bibmon Trail located in Western Australia and has a length of 1,002 kilometers, the California hiking route is the most difficult and most beautiful route in the world.

In fact, California hiking routes are just a general term, which refers to starting from the junction of California and Oregon, and then heading south along the Rocky Mountains to the vicinity of Los Angeles. In this area with a length of 800 kilometers, a width of more than 100 kilometers, a total area of ​​more than 80,000 square kilometers, nine national parks and hundreds of state parks, there are countless routes for travelers to choose from. But no matter how you choose, as long as you can hike from the northernmost end of California to the vicinity of Los Angeles among the mountains, you will complete the greatest hike in the world.

There are countless hiking enthusiasts around the world who challenge this hiking route every year, and there are also many hikers who die while conquering this route, but this still cannot stop hikers from hiking's love for this route.

Even if it is winter now, in this continuous mountain, I don’t know how many people are conquering this route at this time.

It was as if Yang Jing had walked about four or five kilometers along the sparsely populated mountain road to the mountains, and he met two hikers who were resting.

Seeing Yang Jing walking from the bottom of the mountain alone with a travel bag on his back, the bearded man greeted Yang Jing with a smile.

Yang Jing was a little happy with his friendly attitude. After all, he had a typical Asian face. But at the same time, he was also very curious. The two hikers in front of him had a heavy dust on them. It was obvious that they came here after a long journey.

"Hey, hello you guys, are you also hikers? I am Albert Yang, from China." When she walked up to them, Yang Jing sat down.

"Chinese? Hey, hello, I'm Tony Oldman, this is my wife Nicole Oldman, we all come from New Zealand Albert, I'm very happy to know you, are you also going to hike in the mountains?"

The two hikers are a man and a woman. The man looks about in his thirties or less than forty years old, and looks very burly. As for his wife, she looks a little slender, but she is quite beautiful.

"Yes, I've heard that the Rockies are beautiful, but I haven't had time to feel it up close. I happened to be a little free during this period, so I decided to hike into the mountains to enjoy the winter scenery of the Rockies. Where are you?"

"Haha, my husband and I had already arrived at the Rockies four weeks ago, but the starting point of our hike was not here, but in Hapi Camp further north, with a straight line distance of about 400 kilometers here."

"Hapi Camp? Are you starting from Haapi Camp? Jesus Christ, you are so amazing." Yang Jing gestured to the couple with a thumbs up, his tone full of admiration.

Located at the junction of California and Oregon, Camp Hapi is located deep in the Rocky Mountains and on the banks of the Klamas River, it is a very famous camping place. Every year, a large number of hikers go to that town and then start hiking from that town.

From Hapi Camp to here, the straight-line distance is really almost more than 400 kilometers, but this refers to the straight-line distance on the map. If you want to get here from Hapi Camp, the actual walking route will be at least 200 kilometers.

If you are on the flat ground, it will take up to half a month and twenty days to walk on a 600-kilometer road, but it will be greatly increased by walking so far from the mountains and ridges. It is already quite amazing that this couple can walk here from Hapi Camp in four weeks.

"Tony, are you and your wife challenging the California hiking route?" Yang Jing asked curiously.

"That's right, we met through hiking more than ten years ago. After we got married, we had to do a long-distance hiking and several medium-distance hiking trips every year. This time we were preparing to challenge the most difficult California hiking route, so we came here after three months of preparation. Now, we are halfway through this route, and it is estimated that we will be able to complete this challenge in four to five weeks."

"Wow, you two are so awesome!" Yang Jing praised with a smile. Tony accepted Yang Jing's praise carelessly, while his wife smiled a little shyly.

Looking at the couple's dusty look, Yang Jing suddenly remembered the four guys who had hiked across the North American continent in Alter last year, and said: "Actually, when I went to Alter, the northernmost part of Canada, I met four madmen. Yes, their actions were really no different from those of madmen in my opinion, but I admire their actions, because the four of them actually took nine months to cross the entire North American continent and finally arrived in Alter."

"Do you know the four Jeff and the others?" Nicole, who was sitting next to Tony, asked in surprise after hearing Yang Jing say this.

Yang Jing grabbed his head. In my memory, it seemed that there was indeed a person named Jeff among the four crazy guys. "Is the Jeff you mentioned called Jeff? Enzos? He is not very tall, but his head is very big, with a Mediterranean head shape, and he looks about forty years old?"

Nicole nodded laughingly, "Yes, it's Jeff, he's also a New Zealander, and he's very famous in our New Zealand hiker circle. He said he was going to take a hike across the North American continent two years ago. We all thought he was crazy at that time. As a result, TV stations reported on his feat in September last year. He did complete the feat across the North American continent with three Americans."

Tony also exclaimed: "Yes, it's really an incredible feat. It's nearly 9,000 kilometers in nine months. The most important thing is that most of their itineraries are in the rarely visited Canadian icefields, which is even more amazing. I think their feat is even more powerful than Forrest Gan in the movie."

Yang Jing also laughed. Strictly speaking, although Forrest Gump ran across the United States three times in the movie, the difficulty was really nothing based on the feats accomplished by the four madmen he met in Alert last year.

Of course, if these four madmen were talking about Svenky, the German soldier in another movie "Rebirth of the Polar", they would be a little bit worse.

Yang Jing watched that movie, and Yang Jing felt a little sore. The movie tells the story of a German prisoner named Svenky, who was exiled to the severely cold eastern Siberia for twenty-five years of labor reform. After five years of inhuman life, he vowed to escape from this human area. He alone launched a "polar escape" operation of 14,000 kilometers. During his more than three years of escape, he experienced wind and snow, conquered the mountains and ridges, and traveled to Siberia, Uzbek, Belarus, Mongolia and other places. When he arrived in Iran, he unexpectedly became a prisoner. But in the end, he successfully returned to his hometown.

Yang Jing, who has been to Siberia, knows the harshness of Siberia. It took him three years to cross Siberia, and the difficulty was naturally more difficult than four people crossing the North American continent. The most important thing is that this movie was adapted from real people and real stories. In other words, in history, there was really such a person who took him three years to complete the feat of hiking across Siberia!

Yang Jing told the couple about the movie "Rebirth of the Polar Land". The couple had never seen this German movie, but after hearing Yang Jing's story, they immediately regarded the protagonist in the movie as a god!

Maybe because he found a common topic, Nicole, who was originally a little shy, gradually let go. "Tony and I came to challenge the California hiking route this time, but in fact, we were encouraged by Jeff's feat across the North American continent. Otherwise, we would not dare to challenge this extremely difficult route directly. But now it seems that we have done quite well."

"Tony, Nicole, I believe you two will definitely be able to complete this challenge smoothly. The reason why Jeff Enzos and the others were able to accomplish that feat was also closely related to the one million dollar reward. And you two can take the initiative to challenge this route without any material stimulation. I think you two are much better than Jeff."

"Haha, Albert, thank you for your compliment." Tony laughed generously.

"I'm not praising you, I'm just telling you a fact, I'll tell you, when I met Jeff and the other four in Alet last year, they were in a mess, and they insisted on following my ship back to North America, but I didn't agree, because we were going to set off from Alet to Siberia..."

"Wow? It's already amazing that you went to Alert, and you also went to Siberia?" Nicole was very curious.

"That's right, last year I took my fiancée to rent a polar scientific research boat to the Arctic Ocean for a walk..." Since the conversation was quite speculative, Yang Jing didn't mind telling the trip to the Arctic last year to these two people. Sure enough, the trip to the Arctic made the couple stunned.

"Albert, I really envy you for being able to go to the Arctic for such a big round."

"Haha, Tony, going to the North Pole is nothing. I plan to go to the South Pole by the end of this year. How about it, are you two interested? If you are interested, I can leave two tickets for you both."
