确实令人着迷 Enchanting indeed

金色落叶松和普鲁西克峰，魔力地带，华盛顿州

华盛顿州的魔力地带拥有700多个高山湖泊和池塘。早在欧洲定居者到来之前，魔力地带是美国原住民雅基马、奇努克和韦纳奇部落的家园。20世纪的伐木和采矿浪潮改变了这里的大部分地貌。如今，成群的山羊在公园里吃草，岩雷鸟在树上栖息。落叶松的针叶变成了金黄色，给岩石地形投下了温暖的光辉，这片土地也随之发生了变化。普鲁西克峰在魔力地带中脱颖而出，它不仅是华盛顿州喀斯喀特山脉阿尔卑斯湖荒野区的一颗璀璨明珠，也是该地区和魔力地带的象征。对于经验丰富的徒步旅行者和攀岩者来说，这是一个绝佳的地点，这里有各种难度的攀岩路线，吸引着熟练的登山者或冒险者一试身手。

Golden larches and Prusik Peak, the Enchantments, Washington

That jagged granite summit is Prusik Peak, an icon of Washington state's Enchantments region, high in the Cascade Mountain range. Getting here means a long, strenuous hike, and for much of the year it is covered in snow. But from midsummer through the fall, hikers and climbers arrive here as the larch trees turn golden. The granite peaks and autumnal colors are not the only attractions. The Enchantments boasts more than 700 alpine lakes and ponds, as well as herds of grazing mountain goats that roam this corner of the scenic Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
