Grey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass.The ground is white.The day is June 10.It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains.Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail-95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho,across the roughest country in the West.Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo.Today Fairchild is nervousl
y checking the weather reports.He has agreed to take me across the toughest,middle section of the trail.
When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass,140 miles south of Missoula,on Aug.12,1805,he was astonished by what was in front of him;“high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow.”Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed,with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.
Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled,for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures:the explorers who braved its hardships and the native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的)gift.It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.
The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September.Our luck
is holding with the weather,although the snow keeps getting deeper.As we climb to Indian Post Office,the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft,we have covered 13 miles in soft snow,and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner.After a meal of chicken,I sit on a rock on top of the ridge (山脊).There is no light visible in any direction,not even another campfire.For four days we do not see another human being.We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy.In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.
洛洛山口的树梢上,灰色的云朵像烟雾一样低垂。地面是白色的。这一天是6月10日。过去四天,比特根山脉一直在下雪。韦恩·费尔柴尔德(Wayne Fairchild。他同意带我穿过最艰难的中间路段。
1805年8月12日,当刘易斯登上米苏拉以南140英里的莱希山口时,他对眼前的一切感到惊讶;“高高的山脉仍然在我们的西部,它们的顶部部分被雪覆盖。”当时的美国没有人知道落基山脉的存在,它的山峰是东部阿巴拉契亚山脉的两倍高。
如今,他们穿过这些山脉的道路比他们旅行过的任何其他地方都更有吸引力,因为它原始的荒野证明了两种文化的特征:一种是不畏艰难的探险家,另一种是珍视和保护这条道路的美洲原住民(神圣的)礼物今天,它的状况和刘易斯和克拉克走路时一样。
洛洛河只能在7月到9月中旬通行。尽管雪越来越深,但天气还是很好。当我们爬到海拔7033英尺的印度邮局时,我们已经在松软的雪地里走了13英里,几乎没有足够的精力做饭。吃了一顿鸡肉后,我坐在山脊上的一块石头上(山脊).任何方向都看不到光,甚至连另一个篝火都看不见。四天来,我们再也看不到其他人了。我们被恐惧与快乐交织在一起的事情所占据。在我们的想象中,我们终于赶上了刘易斯和克拉克。
