Tasmania, Australia, hiking site Cradle Hill, the full name of Cradle Hill - St Clair Lake National Park, is located in the middle of Tasmania. The cradle mountain is called because two of the main peaks towering high in the peaks, shaped like an English cradle. A few years ago, Chen Xun walked alone in Cradle Mountain, but accidentally lost his way, and finally used a helicopter to search and rescue, and the rescued Eason told the rescuers "Just Leave me here!" to show the charm of Cradle Mountain. Cradle Mountain is one of the main peaks in the central and western Tadao. The main peak is 1545 meters above sea level. Cradle Mountain and Lake St. Clair, located in the south of it, form the largest national park on Tadao. Ossa is also located in this huge national park. There are many hiking routes in Cradle Mountain: the farthest is Dove Lake Pigeon Lake, which runs from Vistor Center to Pigeon Lake: Snake Hill, Ronny Creek, Waldheim. The hiking routes are divided into three categories: short, half-day and all-day hiking. Details of these hiking routes can be seen at the entrance of the park, including whether they can be hiking in various weather conditions, the people who adapt to them, the hiking distance time and the surrounding landscape. I chose the half-day Dove Lake Circuit Pigeon Lake around the lake and the short-distance Enchanted walk Charming trail. It is recommended to take a half-day hiking route to the pigeon lake clockwise around the lake, about3.5-4 hours, the mountains are undulating, the ancient trees are rich, walking in the virgin forest by the lake, the beautiful scenery is quiet and picturesque. The closer to Cradle Mountain, the more snow covers the Pigeon Lake hiking trail in early spring. The first half of the hike is relatively easy, all the way to the boardwalk, after the round to the lake, the trail is covered with ice and snow, some iced trails need to be careful, so also remind if winter snow later hiking, be sure to wear outdoor equipment. Recommended short hikes around Pigeon Lake, we chose the short hike path recommended by many people Enchanted walk, this is a dark path through the charming ancient rainforest, if you take a good shot, the picture will make people feel like walking into the planet of Avatar. Lin. The entrance to this path is behind the Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge where we stayed.

    Cradle Mountain is worth a visit, but it must take a whole day to travel more tastefully. This time, it will be opened from the camp at 9 am. First, I will go to the mural town and then to Cradle Mountain. It will be more than 14:00 in the afternoon. It will be cloudy. It will be cold immediately, it will be dark, and it will not be enough to play.

    I stayed here for three days and two nights and drove by myself. Living in a small wooden cabin in the mountains, you can ignite your own fire, which has a different flavor. The climate in the mountains is very good. When we went there, it was said that there was zero in the evening. But when we climbed the mountain, it should be only 10 degrees, but it was just right. Be neither hot nor cold. It's quiet in the mountains, and you can see wild wombats and other small animals in the yard. There are many roads to go in the mountains. We chose a road that lasted just half a day. Walk and pat, quiet and beautiful. In the evening, we cooked by ourselves in the cabin. We used the food we brought down from the hill. We had the food in our own place. We also had the food left by the front guests. We wrote a note telling us what they had left and we could continue to use it. When we left, there was still room for visitors to follow. There is also a message book to write about how you feel about your stay. In short, it's worth it!

    Generally speaking, if time is limited, Tasmania will choose Cradle Mountain first. It is also Tasmania's most famous national park with an area of 16,800 hectares and is listed as a World Heritage Site. Cars can be driven directly to the lakeside parking lot. Looking from a distance, a quiet lake lies in the middle of the mountains, like sleeping in a cradle, which is named Cradle Mountain. Before departure, my friend said that we could experience the four seasons in Cradle Mountain. We still don't believe it, but we were lucky to meet! It was still sunny at the foot of the hill, and when we drove halfway up the hill, we had a sudden snowfall. It's amazing to know that summer is coming soon in Australia.

    Going to Cradle Mountain, you can walk up the mountain to the panoramic view of Jiuglass Bay. It is difficult to go up the mountain road. You have to use your hands and feet to go up.
