Summary
[edit]DescriptionTV-009-0432 (15208625391).jpg |
Steady Brook, Newfoundland. Located about ten minutes past Corner Brook on the Trans-Canada Highway, Marble Mountain is the largest ski resort in Canada east of Québec. In an average winter, 16 feet (5m) of snow fall on 37 trails of various lengths and skill levels that plunge 1,760 feet (536m) from the peak of the mountain to near this parking lot; in the summer, it's a nice place for hikers, with short trails leading to the purportedly beautiful Steady Brook Falls. That's the experience I had in mind up to the point I arrived in North Sydney and prepared for my ferry trip over to Newfoundland. However, the perfect storm of my frustratingly late departure from Nova Scotia, the resultant alterations to my itinerary, the grueling pace of the trip so far, my lack of sleep, and not knowing where to find the trailhead made for a situation where hiking was the last thing I wanted to do. Luckily, even the vicinity of the Marble Mountain parking lot is quite photogenic, and I caught a nap in the car for about half an hour before continuing on my way. And now I have a ready-made reason to come back to Newfoundland again some time. Steady Brook, Terre-Neuve. Située une dizaine de minutes après Corner Brook le long de la Route transcanadienne, Marble Mountain est la plus grande station de ski au Canada à l'est du Québec. Lors d'un hiver moyen, 5 mètres de neige tombent sur sur 37 sentiers de différentes longueurs et niveaux de compétence, qui plongent 536 mètres depuis le sommet de la montagne jusqu'à près de ce parc de stationnement; pendant l'été, c'est un endroit agréable pour les randonneurs, avec des courts sentiers qui mènent à la prétendument belle chute de Steady Brook. Telle était l'expérience que j'avais prévu jusqu'au temps quand je suis arrivé à North Sydney et je me préparais pour mon voyage à Terre-Neuve en ferry. Cependant, le parafit concours de mon départ désespérément tradif de la Nouvelle-Écosse, les modifications à mon itinéraire qui en résultaient, le rythme épuisant du voyage jusqu'à ce temps-là, ma manque de sommeil, et ma manque de connaissance d'où trouver le début du sentier a créé une situation où la randonnée était la dernière chose que je voulais faire. Heureusement, même la proximité du parc de stationnement de Marble Mountain est très photogénique, et je pouvais aussi de faire une sieste dans la voiture pendant environ une demi-heure avant de continuer sur mon chemin. Et maintenant, j'ai une raison toute faite de revenir à Terre-Neuve quelque temps. Steady Brook, Terranova. Situada cerca de diez minutos mas allá de Corner Brook a lo largo de la Carretera Transcanadiense, Marble Mountain es la estación de esquí más grande de Canadá al este de Quebec. Durante un invierno normal, 5 metros de nieve caen sobre 37 pistas de distintas longitudes y niveles de habilidad, que hunden 536 metros desde la cima de la montaña hasta cerca de esta playa de estacionamiento; en el verano, es un buen lugar para los senderistas, con senderos cortos que llevan a la supuestamente hermosa Catarata de Steady Brook. Esa es la experiencia que yo había previsto hasta el tiempo cuando llegué a North Sydney y me preparaba para mi viaje a Terranova en transbordador. Sin embargo, la tormenta perfecta de mi salida frustrantemente tardía de Nueva Escocia, las alteraciones a mi itinerario que resultaron, el ritmo extenuante del viaje hasta ese tiempo, mi falta de sueño, y no saber dónde encontrar el comienzo del sendero hizo una situación donde el senderismo era lo último que quería hacer. Afortunadamente, incluso las proximidades de la playa de estacionamiento de Marble Mountain son muy fotogénicas, y yo era capaz de tomar una siesta en el coche durante una media hora antes de continuar en mi camino. Y ahora tengo una razón concreta para volver a Terranova de nuevo algún tiempo. |
