,说是从Kent沿7号路一路开上来的,沿途风景极好。我想这个周末去,不知道叶子会
不会掉……Kent Falls State Park和Lake Waramaug State Park哪个更漂亮?其他有
什么推荐的地方?谢谢!
顺便贴一篇旧帖,写的Haystack State Park在更北的Canaan。大家有空都来分享一下
看红叶的好地方噢。

上个星期正是康州北部红叶最好的时候,随便从CT的STATE PARK 里挑了一个haystack
state park去看看
打南边开过去,走8号路往北,一过exit 29,渐入佳境,特别是过了城市密集的NEW
HAVEN COUNTY到了Litchfield County以后,就全是风景。
8号路到头,转44往西,交界处是一个叫WINSTED的小镇,有不少的小教堂,尖尖的顶,
古普的石头结构,加上门前亮丽的枫树,衬上缤纷的远山,特别典型的NEW ENGLAND小
镇秋色。
ROUTE44向西开的10mile,也是一路红橙黄绿,然后转route 272 向北不到1mile,
haystack state park就在你的左手边。往前的272呢,又是4mile的SCENERY ROUTE,路
边都是些住家,有不少家的主人在那里扫叶子。:)
PARK不大(名字是因为haystack mountain), 路也很窄,开到路的竟头也不过3,5分钟
的样子,然后得HIKING 10-15分钟才能到Haystack Tower. 途中超过了好多坐在石头上
胖胖的喘着气的可爱女士,有个正在归徒中的先生,对她们说:not much further, 不
过他脸上的微笑却说了真话。
总算到了塔底,塔一点也不高大概只有3层的样子,上去以后才发现从TOWER的顶层到可
以看风景的层面,没有楼梯,就斜放了一块门板让游客爬上去,可能公园太小没人管,
本来还以为,美国的公工设施在哪里都很完备呢。费了好大的周折,牺牲了一条白裤子
,终于上去了,心想,那些路上的女士们可能是不行了。
由塔顶的8个窗口望出去,可以尽收四周所有的美景,虽然才从WHITE MOUNTAIN回来,
可一点也不逊色:蓝天白云,沿绵起伏的丘陵,在阳光下闪亮的碧绿的湖面,彩色丛林
中的一片绿地,云彩走过时留下的影子,远处隐隐约约的公路,blah, blah, blah --
不虚此爬:

CT还有好多象这样的小公园,比较适合州内居民一时兴起的短途周游,消磨周末半个懒
洋洋的下午:
macedonia brook state park,
mohawk state forest(cornwall lookout tower),
pachaug state forest,
peoples state forest,
shenipsit state forest(somers observation tower),
talcott mountain state park ( simsbury tower).
CT还有好多好多的SCENERY ROUTE,以前开过一些地图上标志的SCENERY ROUTE,什么也
没有,觉得上当,现在才知道在NEW ENGLAND,SCENERY ROUTE只有秋天才有效,:),
冤枉了那些画地图的了。其实就连在没有标记的公路上也都是养眼美景和意外收获。 | c*******n 发帖数: 1214 | 2 I think the peak has been to Meriden, Middlefield area last weekend. Or

| c*******n 发帖数: 1214 | 6 Route 15/5 is absolutely beautiful now. From Hamden to Berlin, the color
turns as wonderful as that of 302 or 93 in New Hampshire. I went to the
Silver Lake in Berlin today. Even it is windy and cloudy, the view from the
west lakeside to the mountains of the east is breathtaking. Also, on 91
southbound, the mountain on the left side between Meriden and Middletown (
exit 20 and 19) looks quite spectacular, too.
That is why I think this weekend the east rock, west rock ridge or sleeping
giant park could be good places to visit for foliage. Or other parks along
this line, maybe parks in Danbury or Brookfield, should be good, too.
Normally during this season, Pocono Mountains in Pa is also a great place
for foliage. |
