ʻO kahi puke keke mauna hou kahi mālama kiʻi

Loaʻa i nā keke keke mauna o nā ʻāpana a pau kahi waiwai kūpono hou no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ala ma Wyoming āpau. ʻO nā hounds Downhill a me ka poʻe ʻimi i nā ala ʻoʻoleʻa, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kēia ala e ʻimi nei i kahi ala maikaʻi loa e ʻoluʻolu ai me ka ʻohana, hiki ke ʻike i nā ala hou e hoʻokō i kā lākou leʻaleʻa paikikala i loko o ka puke e hou na Jerimiah Rieman.

ʻO "Wyoming Singletrack," i hōʻike ʻia e Mounted Pin Publishing, ke kānana nei i nā kaomi me nā kikoʻī ma nā ala 97 a puni ʻo Wyoming, e pale ana ma kahi o 650 mile o ka singletrack. ʻAʻole ia he puke alakaʻi kupaianaha wale nō, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo he lawelawe ia ma ke ʻano he e-puke "coffetable" i kiʻi ʻia no kahi ʻike leʻaleʻa. ʻO nā kiʻi a me nā pakuhi "ʻoluʻolu maka" e puka mai ana mai kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao pūnaewele.

ʻO Rieman, he kamaʻāina ʻo Wyoming a he luna hoʻomalu aupuni o ka ʻĀina Komisina o Wyoming County, i hoʻolilo ʻia ma mua o ʻekolu mau makahiki e mākaʻikaʻi ai i nā ala holoʻokoʻa ma Wyoming āpau. Ua huki a ʻimi ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia ala i loko o ka puke e.

"ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo e hoʻokau paha wau i kahi ala i hele ʻole wau iaʻu iho," i ʻōlelo ʻo Rieman. "He hiki iaʻu ke haʻi aku i ke ʻano o kēlā me kēia ala i hoʻokumu ʻia i kaʻu ʻike pilikino."

ʻO nā ala 97, kahi i hōʻike ʻoi loa ka pilikia no Rieman ʻo Cliff Creek Falls, hoʻonoho ʻia ma loko o ka Hoback Canyon komohana o Bondurant. Kuhi ʻia kēia ala 11.84-mile ma waho a hoʻi i "hana" no ka pilikia o ke kino a "kiʻekiʻe" no ka ʻike loea. Loaʻa nā helu like a Rieman no nā ala āpau i loko o ka puke e. ʻO ke ala Cliff Creek Falls kahi e hōʻiliʻili ai i kā Rieman kūlana “huakaʻi”. Mālama ʻia kēlā inoa no nā ala e lawe i nā mea holo i ke ala hele a komo i nā mea kupaianaha o ke kūlohelohe, e like me ka hopena o nā holoholona laha, nā mea kanu, nā palapala ʻāina, a i ʻole nā ​​vistas hanana.

"I kekahi mau mile i ke ala o ka huakaʻi, ua hālāwai wau i kahi hoʻokahuli ʻāina nui loa i hala ʻole ma mua o ka hele ʻana i ke ala a kāpae aku," i ʻōlelo ʻo Rieman. "Ua hala wau ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola a me ka hapalua e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻoholo i ke ala eʻaʻa i ka impediment e hoʻohui hou me ke ala ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe. Ma kahi pae, ua heleleʻi pololei wau i loko o kahi nahā lepo e like me ka nui o kuʻu pūhaka. ”

ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻo ka nui o nā ala like ʻole he 96 i hele aku ai ʻo ia ʻaʻole pilikia e ʻike a hoʻokele paha, ʻoiai kekahi e hiki ke nānā i ke ʻano o ka mea holo.

Ma ka hikina hema ʻo Wyoming, hōʻike ʻo Rieman i nā ala he 17 a me nā ʻenehana huakaʻi he nui ma ka North Cheyenne Group Park, Curt Gowdy State Park a ma loko o Pole Mountain. Loaʻa iā ia kekahi mau ala kanaka i loko o nā mauna Snowy Vary a me Sierra Madre.

No nā mea holo lio Laramie, hāʻawi ʻo Rieman i nā manaʻo no 3 mau ala, i hoʻokumu mua ʻia i ka pahuhopu kino a loea paha o ka mea holo.

No kēia hoʻomaka ʻana i ka paikikala mauna a ʻimi wale paha no ka hoʻokele pololei loa, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rieman i nā ala hele kula ʻo Laramie Schoolyard, ma ka hikina o Laramie ma ke kahakai o ke kūlanakauhale.

"He wahi maikaʻi ia e hoʻomaka ai me ka holo kaʻa mauna," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Rieman. "Me ka wehe o Pilot Hill, e piʻi wale ana ia kiʻekiʻe."

No kahi kekelē ʻoi loa o ka paikikala mauna, ua paipai ʻo ia e hele i Curt Gowdy State Park, ma ka hikina o Laramie ma waho o Glad Jack Highway (Wyoming Freeway 210). Hāʻawi kēia mekeka paikikala mauna i nā mile he 40 a keu o nā ala i hoʻolālā ʻia no nā novice a me nā holoholo kau like.

ʻO ke ala Xterra ma loko o ka puke e-uhi ʻia he 12.62 mile a ʻae ʻia e kiʻi i ka uku o ka ʻūlū me nā ʻāpana paʻakikī e koi ana i kahi kaʻa mauna mauna kiʻekiʻe e hana pū ana.

No kēia mau mea e ʻimi nei i kahi ala paʻakikī maoli, ua paipai ʻo Rieman i ke ala ʻo Recreation Rock Rock Nationwide ma ka hopena ʻākau o nā Mountains Bow Mountains. E hoʻomaka ana ma ka Deep Creek Trailhead ma kahi o ke Alaloa ʻo Sand Lake, hele ke ala i ke kūkulu ʻākau no ka mea e iho ana ia a kūlike ia me Rock Creek. Ma nā ʻāpana, hiki i kahi hoʻololi kīnā ʻole ke alakaʻi i ka pōʻino me ke kahawai e kahe ana i loko o ke kahawai ma lalo. ʻAʻole ia he ala no ka nāwaliwali o ka puʻuwai coronary a i ʻole ka mea holo mauna mauna ʻike ʻole.

Paipai ikaika ʻo Rieman e hana i kēia ala i kahi ʻenehana wale nō, e hoʻolilo iā ia i huakaʻi hele a hoʻi paha i ka mauna ma o nā ala ʻo Forest Service.

"ʻAʻole au e kuhikuhi i ka hoʻokele i ke ala," i ʻōlelo ʻo Rieman. "Maikaʻi loa kēlā a i kekahi manawa, ʻino loa."

Ke ʻimi a ʻaʻole paha i ka huakaʻi o ka lā holoʻokoʻa, kahi holoholo ma ke ala pololei me nā keiki, a i ʻole he huakaʻi hele hale lole lā he nui i ke ala o kahi paikikala i hoʻoili ʻia, hāʻawi kēia puke e i nā hoʻolālā no nā ʻano huakaʻi like ʻole. Aia kekahi ʻāpana momona no kēia mau koho ʻana e mālama i ka hehi ʻana i ka hoʻoilo a ʻae ʻia nā kahakaha ma nā wahi uila - uila uila.

No kēia mau mea hou i ka paikikala, e hoʻāʻo i ka ʻāpana e pili ana i nā ʻano o nā paikikala mauna. Ua ʻae ʻo Rieman e loli mau ana kēlā ʻike a he mea ʻole ia e ʻelemakule me ka wikiwiki ke holo nā keke mauna i ko lākou ulu.

Ke hoʻolālā nei a i ʻole i ka hele ʻana i waho a makemake wale paha e kiʻi i kekahi mau kiʻi nani ʻo Wyoming, he mea iki kēia e-puke no nā ipo paikikala luhi pūluhi.
