Upper Kananaskis Lake Trail

卡薩布蘭卡

Our first dabble with Kananaskis was dated back 16 years ago when we were still lads and lasses. We were gravitated to the Kananaskis Resort because the 28th G8 summit was held there in June 2002. The participants such as George W. Bush, Tony Blair and their peers were long gone, fading swiftly from memory into history. The only exception is Vladimir Putin who is still playing active and dominant roles in the world’s political arenas, outlasting his opponents’ political lives by a great margin! 我們第一次來Kananaskis來玩，可謂是蜻蜓點水，淺嘗輒止！那是16年前，我們還年輕！由于事先沒有計劃好，對景點不理解，我們只是被2002年六月在此召開的八國峰會而吸引。當(dāng)時參加峰會的小布什，托尼布萊爾等都早己退出了政治舞臺，只有普京一枝獨秀，依然在俄國及世界政治舞臺發(fā)揮不可忽視的作用，不管人們喜歡與否。 If my memory doesn’t betray me, it was a cloudy day with sporadic drizzles. The Sun was very shy, just stealing a glance at us from time to time. With such unwelcoming and inhospitable weather, compounded by our limited allocated time and lack of research and preparation, we could hardly get our feet wet with Kananaskis. It was thus unfairly relegated to limbo. 記憶中那天是陰天。時不時下著毛毛雨。太陽偶爾短暫地露一下羞澀的臉。差天氣，缺乏事先研究與計劃，加上時間緊迫，我們基本只是到此一游，沒有留下深刻印象。從此，我們把它打入記憶的冷宮，總是優(yōu)先選擇班芙和賈斯珀兩個國家公園。 In recent years, when we have chances talking about holiday or weekend destinations, Kananaskis seems to be a buzzword. In particular, we were inspired by the feat of a couple in our running group. They departed from home early in the morning, getting to Kananaskis at about 9:00am after driving about 500km, completing an arduous hike with stunning scenery, and getting back home at night. That helps shatter my inveterate propensity for choosing Banff and Jasper over Kananaskis. 近些年，與朋友和同事聊起周末及節(jié)假日期間的外出旅游目的地，Kananaskis 被很多人提到并推薦。尤其是老餓家兩口子，他們早上從家出發(fā)，開車五百公里，欣賞完Kananaskis的美景后，連夜趕回家。這種的“早發(fā)白帝彩云間，暮至江陵一日還”的壯舉，令人驚嘆不已！這都有助于打破存在于腦中根深蒂固的刻板印象。 On Sep 4, 2020, we made a decision to have an impromptu travel, just pack and go. The very destination is Kananaskis. We booked a hotel room just a few minutes before midnight. We decided to hike the Upper Kananaskis Lake trail. It is a trail along the lake shore, totalling about 15km with an elevation gain in the vicinity of about 450m, which is not challenging to my wife and me but manageable by two youngsters. 九月四號晚，我們臨時決定來個說走就走的旅行。只是帶好換洗衣服，洗涮用品！目的地是Kananaskis. 我們決定沿著Upper Kananaskis Lake 走一圈。它全長約15公里，累計爬升約450米。這條路對老婆和我來講，小菜一碟，但考慮到小朋友，覺得他們足可以對付。 We left our dwelling a few minutes prior to 8:00am. It took us five hours to get to our destination, one hour more than what was predicted by Google map, due in large part to road construction and poor traffic conditions passing the Winsport Center of Calgary. The cars writhed like a long snake on high way 1. To our bewilderment, we saw no evidence of car accidents or constructions etc that could be used to explain and justify the stalling. 我們是五號早八點前幾分鐘離開住所。五小時后到達目的地。比谷歌預(yù)計的慢一小時，因為修路和無法解釋的交通阻塞。一路上并沒有看到車禍什么的，但高速公路上，車如長龍，只是以十到二十公里的速度蠕動, 有時甚至完全仃止蠕動。 The weather is impeccable, sunny and warm. The light breeze from the lake gently caresses our faces, refreshing and invigorating. Many people flocked to the lake. Some of them set up a tent, enjoying the beautiful lake, delicious food and great weather. Many of them hiked the lake shore trail like what we did. The only thing that reminds us of the global pandemic is the masks worn by some of the tourists. A great majority of them wore no masks at all. 天氣好得無萬挑剔。湖面吹來的清風(fēng)，輕撫臉龐，給人清新與活力，一掃長途奔波的勞頓。湖邊車水人龍，或支起帳篷，亨受天氣，山光水色，和美食；或沿湖跋涉！只有不多的人戴著的口罩提醒大家，我們?nèi)栽谛鹿诖罅餍兄小?lt;/p> COVID-19 is still racking our nerves. We follow the recommended practices closely by keeping social distance as much as possible, wearing masks, and using sanitizer often. We refrain from asking other people to help us take family pictures. May the pandemic can be kept under control the soonest the possible, so life can return back to its normalcy!
