Leli injini ye-steam ikuyisa phezulu kwesine
Le injini encane ingaqhubeka futhi isebenza.
Unyaka wezi-2016 wawubheke iminyaka engu-125 yenye yezitimela ezithandwa kakhulu, ezithandwa kakhulu e-Colorado. Ngasekupheleni kukaJuni 1891, okokuqala isitimela sePikes Peak Cog sasihamba, futhi asizange siqale ukugxila kusukela. Ungumvakashi omkhulu odweba imindeni, ama-buffs omlando kanye nabantu abafuna i-scenic, e-Colorado kuphela.
Lo wesitimela ukhona eduze neCoronto Springs edolobhaneni elincanyana, e-Manitou Springs.
Ikhuphukela entabeni yonke indlela eya enkundleni yePike Peak, enye yezindawo ezidumile kakhulu e-Colorado "ezine-fourteeners," noma izintaba ezingaphezu kwamamitha angu-14 000 ngaphezu kolwandle.
Ezinye zibiza iPikes Peak "Intaba yaseMelika."
Lokho kusho ukuthatha abahambi ukuthi ungathola phezulu kwe-fourtneener ngaphandle kokuthi uphule ukujuluka. Ukuhamba ngezinyawo kungaba yinselele kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ngenzuzo yokuphakama.
Abahambahamba badlula eRuxton Creek, Englemann Canyon, amatshe amakhulu, i-Mount Almagre kanye ne-Minnehaha Falls. Uzobona ezinye zezinto ezindala kunazo zonke eziphilayo emhlabeni, izihlahla ezimbili ze-bristlecone pine ezi-2 000-plus-year.
Thola i-Railway
Ehlobo, i-Pikes Peak Cog Railway ithatha abagibeli uhambo lwamahora angu-3 kuya ku-2 ukuya entabeni ukuze kubonakale imidwebo yemifino eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kanye nemithi yephayinsi kanye nalabo bhakabhaka obuhlaza obuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka eyaziwa yiColorado. Abagibeli abanobuhle bangase babambe umbono we-marmot, inyamazane noma ama-bighorn izimvu endleleni.
Eqinisweni, le ndawo iyikhaya lomhlambi omkhulu wama-bighorns kuhulumeni. Uma isibhakabhaka sicacile, abagibeli bangabona isibhakabhaka seDenver kude.
Ekuwa, ukugibela kuyindlela eyintandokazi yokubona imibala eguqukayo yamaqabunga. Njengoba ukhuphukela phezulu, amaqabunga ashintsha ngezikhathi ezihlukene zonyaka, okusho ukuthi ukugibela okulodwa kungaba njengokudlula ubuningi.
Futhi ngesikhathi sasebusika, isitimela sishintsha sibe yiSanta Train, ngendlela ejabulisayo neyinkimbinkimbi yokugubha inkathi - nomuntu okhukhulayo ngokwakhe ogibele. Imibono yezintaba zezintaba ihlanganiswe ngengubo elithambile yeqhwa eliqeda uKhisimusi.
Umlando we-Train
Emuva ngawo-1800, lo injini yesithambile yaqaphela ikhono layo lokukhuphuka ukukhuphukela kulezi zindawo eziphakeme futhi kulesi siphezulu sokwehla, usebenzisa uhlelo olukhethekile lwe "cog" system.
Izitimela ezivamile zisebenzisa ukungqubuzana kwamavili emiphongolweni ukuphoqa izimoto phambili, ukulinganisa amamaki angu-6 kuphela (noma ukuphuthuma okuphuthumayo kuya kuma-9 amaphesenti). Kodwa isondo lomgogodla, noma isitimela, isitimela singakwazi ukuphatha amamaki ahlaba umxhwele kuze kube ngamaphesenti angu-48 - isidingo lapho ukhuluma ngokugxila ohlangothini lwesineti.
I-trade-off: Izitimela zezinyawo kufanele zihambe kancane kakhulu - amamayela angu-9 kuphela ngehora lesitimela sePikes Peak. Yenza uhambo luzizwe lufana nokukhuphuka okuqhubekayo, kodwa lunikeze nabagibeli isikhathi esengeziwe sokusetha ukudubula okuphelele.
Namuhla, injini eyodwa kuphela yesithambile isasebenza ukudonsa imoto ebuyisiwe, emlandweni cishe amamayela ayisishiyagalolunye phezulu entabeni.
Amathiphu ochwepheshe
Ngenxa yokuphakama okuphakeme, abanye abahambi bangase bazizwe begula kakhulu. Nazi ezinye iziphakamiso zokulungiselela nokulawula ukugula kwe-altitude e-Colorado .
Phakamisa isidlo sasemini bese uphuza ukuze udle kule ngqungquthela ngoba umugqa wokuthola ukudla ku-House Summit ingaba yinde, futhi uvunyelwe kuphela cishe isigamu sehora ngaphezulu, ngenxa yemiphumela yokuphakama.
Ungaphuthelwa ohlangothini olusenyakatho lwenhlangano. Yilapho uzothola khona izithombe ezinhle kakhulu, futhi lapho ukuphakama kuya khona ekhaya. Qaphela i-Pitless Bottom, i-drop-off emangalisayo kodwa eyingozi.
Iqiniso elijabulisayo
Enye indlela yokuzwa intaba - futhi usebenze ngokuthuthumela okukhulu - ku-Manitou Incline. Isitimela esiya phezulu eNtabeni iManitou esasivame ukunikeza ukufinyelela kwamathangi wamanzi avaliwe ngo-1990 futhi isuke yaba yindlela ethandwayo yokuhamba ngezinyawo zabagijimi abanobunzima. Sikhuluma inzuzo yokuphakama kwezinyawo ezingu-2 000 engaphansi kwemeyela. I-Newbies kungenzeka ingakwazi ukuyenza, kodwa uma ubheka inselele (futhi ulungisiwe kahle, i-hydrated futhi ifanelekile), yenza lokhu kulandela ukudubula.
Kunezindlela ezimbalwa zezindlela ezithathayo, ngokuya ngamandla akho kanye nokukhathala. Khetha umzila wemephu ku-depot noma i-Incline Base Camp ukuhlela isu lakho. Buza izingozi ngamathiphu, futhi. Bangakutshela mayelana nokuphepha kokuhamba, ngokuphathelene nempilo yasendle, udaka noma ezinye izinhlobo zokuvalwa kwemigwaqo.
Ungaphinde uthathe isitimela phezulu bese uqasha ibhayisikili ukubuyela emuva emgwaqweni omkhulu. Inselele Engenamkhawulo Nama-Pikes Peak Izintaba Zezintaba Zezintaba zingakunikela.
I-Colorado Springs iyindawo eyaziwayo yokuhamba ngebhayisikili futhi empeleni yabizwa ngokuthi enye yezindawo ezihamba phambili zokuhamba ngebhayisikili ezizweni ezingu-10.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uhlangabezana nePikes Peak ngebhayisikili, izinyawo noma isitimela, kufanele wenze ku-Colorado.
