臺東祕境－嘉明湖Jiaming Lake

我在嘉明湖看見天使的眼淚Angle’s Teardrop

嘉明湖坐落於臺東縣巍峨群山之間，吸引成千上萬徒步健行者登上其令人眩量的海拔三千三百一十公尺。

這條熱門健行步道已經在我的待辦清單上六年了。

申請入山許可證的競爭異常激烈，不過我的朋友黛比和我很幸運都拿到了。

然而，第一天的行程就讓我不禁懷疑我們是否真能成功抵達嘉明湖。

我們到達臺東時已經是下午，而且我們還沒找好前往登山步道口的交通工具。

從步道口我們還必需徒步走四·三公里約莫兩個小時才能抵達第一晚的住宿地點－向陽山屋。

時間非常寶貴，因為我們不想在黑暗中徒步健行。

此外我也擔心會有高山症的反應。

徒步健行時若高山症發作會非常危險。

所幸，我們及時抵達登山步道口，也開始了登山行程。

雲霧很快便席捲而來，而且在幾秒鐘之內，我們什麼景象都看不到了。

在山裡，往往必須靠運氣才能看到優美風景，或是趕上讓人嘆為觀止的日出。

所以，我們衷心希望在剩下的兩天裡能有更好的運氣。
