LEXI MONTGOMERY

Let's go! Spend the weekend in the forest

Sometimes, I just want to take the wild paths and climb the wild mountains⛰ It's both a challenge and a transcendence✔️ 〽️Heavy-duty camping is different from light trekking, it gives us more time to arrive and enjoy; 🤿Just like scuba diving and free diving, scuba makes it easier for me to relax, not worrying about running out of oxygen, and quietly appreciating the underwater world🐳letting time slip away. 💭For some, the outdoors is an escape; 🏁For others, nature is a return. ♾️Traversing above the forests, exploring the charm of life between the mountains. 🥃In the height of summer, it's my third time summiting Huangcaoliang, and each time there are different gains and insights. ⛺️A fellow camper said: 'This time, I'm really sold on heavy-duty camping. The scenery I've seen before was nothing compared to this.' 🍃Three consecutive times, I've also witnessed the changes at Huangcaoliang over these three months. 🍁In the mountains of April, there's still unthawed snow; ❤️‍🔥The nights of May still carry a hint of coolness; 🔆The escape of June, sweat pours like rain ‼️More and more people are heading outdoors, which is a good thing, but experience accumulates slowly. Here are a few important tips to share: 🔹Water is the most important thing outdoors❗️Make sure to bring enough drinking water, at least 2L per person per day, and 3L if you usually drink a lot 🔹Carry a few energy bars in your pack, they save space and can save your life in special circumstances 🔹Bring salt tablets, as sweating a lot in summer, you can replenish salt at any time 🔹The first 10 minutes, you must proceed at the most comfortable pace for your body⚠️⚠️⚠️VERY❗️IMPORTANT❗️ 🔹You can monitor your heart rate, blood oxygen, breathing rate, and even atrial fibrillation heart rate alerts with an to maintain a safe state of exercise ✔️Summer hiking essentials: fever-reducing patches!! (Just like carrying hand warmers in winter hh) ⭕️DAY 1: 〽️Hiking distance: ~8 kilometers 〽️Total ascent: ~850 meters ⛰Trail description: 🌲Starting the climb at Baiyu, it continues until nearly 1/2 of the first day's journey; 🚸Before despair, there's a small descent, followed by the most comfortable section of the entire journey: a relatively flat undulating path; 🔝Near the meadow, there's a steep climb through the woods, which is also the most physically demanding and difficult part; 🚁Then comes a walk through three large undulating meadows, the essence of the scenery is here💯 ⭕️DAY 2: 〽️Hiking distance: ~4 kilometers 〽️Total descent: ~800 meters ⛰Trail description: 🌲Descending from the meadow, then following the national hiking trail all the way down to Tianjin Pass Tunnel 🌀At one junction, there's a choice: a paved cement road or a dirt path on the right (the dirt path is shorter and passes by Elephant Trunk Mountain), both leading to Tianjin Pass 🔺Keywords: 🌟Winter Snow Selfish Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆ Go to the right place at the right time, explore the world!
