Helan Mountain's most abusive one-day crossing route (Helan Mountain Grand Ring Road)
Photography/Text Sunshine Footsteps
The Yellow Flag Mouth Bafeng Corner Loop, with a total length of nearly 40 kilometers
The cumulative climb is nearly 3,000 meters, which takes more than 16 hours
It can be called the most abusive one-day route of Helan Mountain
However, because of its crossing process, it passes through several commanding heights such as the main peak ridge observation deck, Ba Peak, and the corner
As well as large areas of primary forests, meadows, and seas of flowers
Therefore, it is also the most beautiful scenic route
Ascend to the far horizon, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the clouds are cirrus and cloudy
Yinchuan Plain, Tengger Desert, Bayanhot
The scenery of the main peak of Helan Mountain is in full view
Traveling through it, tired and happy
For this big ring road, the Ningxia outdoor community knows a lot of donkey friends
But many people feel intimidated when they think about it
Most people choose small mouths on the corner; the South Temple on the Ba Peak
Go to climb some of the high points in sections and feel the beautiful scenery of Helan Mountain
It is also a complete crossing for three consecutive years on the basis of multiple climbs in sections
Hardship and joy coexist
Such a crossing is a consideration of confidence and perseverance
It is a test of physique and physical fitness, and the accumulation of experience and skills
It's the release of outdoor passion
It is a visual feast of the beautiful scenery of Helan Mountain
Such a crossing is enough once a year
Crossing the Grand Loop requires high physical fitness, with uninterrupted weekly climbing exercises for more than a month
In terms of time, it is necessary to get up at four or five o'clock to reach the starting point of crossing and walk through the six-kilometer section of the highway
When you see the Yellow Flag Mouth north and south ditch fork boundary mountain, it is considered to be the beginning of the real crossing
At this time, the sun had just risen, and under the first sun, Helan Mountain was like a heavy gold
Follow the North Ditch of Yellow Flag Pass and head all the way to the main peak ridge
Although walking in the ditch, the altitude should rise from more than 1,400 meters to 2,500 meters
It's a big test for everyone
Fortunately, the valley is wide and cool, and the peaks on both sides are varied
Along the way, it is pleasing to the eye, and suddenly you can see the primeval forest
From top to bottom, the sun gradually lights up Helan Mountain
Those mountains and stones hidden in the shadows are full of grace
The sky under the Background of Helan Mountain is blue and clean
At a glance, it seems that you can dye your heart blue
Huangqikou Beigou is also a must for the classic route of Helan Mountain: South Temple to Yinchuan
Whether from east to west, Yinchuan crosses south to the temple
Still from west to east, the South Temple crosses yinchuan
The lines are the same, but they are elevated, time-consuming, and physically demanding
And the scenery seen in the eyes is different
More than two hours later we reached the shepherd site
A stone statue at the top of the mountain is commonly known as the Tiger Stone
After passing this mark, there are more and more forks in the trench
Unfamiliar people are often prone to the wrong intersection
Although eventually it may be possible to climb the main peak ridge
But often the difference is thousands of miles, and the gap with their expected goals will be very large
For those who are not familiar with Helan Mountain, it often causes them to get lost
As the altitude rises, large tracts of virgin forest gradually emerge on both sides
The large stone wall in front of it marks the imminent entry into the forest area
Affected by the line of sight, there are more forks and more complicated roads
It is necessary to observe the direction in advance and always move forward according to the set goal
In order to let more people not get lost on the way through, find the right direction and goal
Specially made sunshine outdoor road signs, this time in the Yellow Flag Mouth North Ditch laid a lot
As long as you pay attention, even donkey friends who have never crossed can reach it smoothly along the direction of the road sign
Just here to remind the donkey friends: nothing but photos to take away, nothing but footprints to leave
About to climb the main peak ridge, look back, full of confidence
This time, only Qin Xin crossed with him
In addition to daily mountaineering, Qinxin also insists on marathon running all year round
Ran a 100 km marathon and achieved good results
In her words, this time is to test her physical fitness for high-intensity mountaineering
The final safe and smooth completion of the crossing
But according to later: it was too abusive, and it will never be crossed again
The observation deck of the main peak ridge is the best place to see the entire Helan Mountain and yinchuan plain
In the case of good weather, standing at the top, Yinchuan City, Helan Mountains, BaFeng, Turning Corners, Tengger Desert... Panoramic view
The time to reach the viewing platform is less than twelve o'clock
The left banner on the west side and the Direction of the Tengger Desert are in the direction of Shunguang
The sky is blue, white clouds are wandering, and the eyes are clear
Pale yellowish yellow sand can be seen in the distance
The main peak ridge in the north direction
Many places have a common feature "phoenix head"
Half light, half lush, yin and yang double heaven
This is the typical feature of Helan Mountain: the yin side is densely forested, and the yang side is barren and pale
Of course, if you look closely, there are actually many plants on the sunny side
Just to adapt to the environment, the growth is low, in order to reduce the evaporation of water, the color is grayish white
That is the way and means by which nature protects itself in order to survive
The crossing was in late July
A clump of Helan Mountain purple mushrooms on the mountain beam is amazing
They usually don't appear until early September
Standing on the ridge of the main peak of Helan Mountain so early
Do you want to enjoy the scenery of Helan Mountain or wait for someone to take you in?
Helan Mountain Purple Mushroom, want to compete with Ba Feng
They are all treasures and pride of Helan Mountain
In the direction of the Yinchuan Plain, it is hidden in a fog
There was only the blue of the high sky, and the white clouds
It shows the clarity and cleanliness of the past
The direction of the extension of the main peak of the southeast Helan Mountain
You can see the corner tower of the spire and even the navigation shelf
That's the mark that humans have set for themselves
It is also an indication and evaluation of the mountain
Among the peaks of Helan Mountain, it is something to be proud of
Heading south along the main peak ridge, Bayan Bul Peak rises proudly
The rounded mountain is unobtrusive and does not refuse the arrival of anyone
The giant Ao Bao at the top of the mountain carries the wishes of the Mongolian people
To the north, the observation deck is the direction of the extension of the main peak of Helan Mountain
The main peak of Helan Mountain, Ao Bao, was hidden behind that mountain
People tend to be self-centered
Looking at the past in this way, it seems that only the position where you stand is the main peak and center of the mountain
I like to see Ba Feng through the boulders in front of me
Strong contrast and sense of extension
It also sets off the majesty and beauty of Helan Mountain
To the west and south of Helan Mountain is the boundary of Inner Mongolia
The desert yellow sand in the distance is the Tengger Desert
The towering Helan Mountain is a barrier that Fei Sha Mai cannot pass
It is also a natural barrier to the Yinchuan Plain
Therefore, Helan Mountain is the father mountain for the people of Ningxia to shield the wind and rain from the sand
Looking at Helan Mountain from the direction of Yinchuan, most of them are gray and white rocks
However, standing on the ridge of the main peak and looking in the direction of Yinchuan is a different scene
Even the complete rocks are densely covered with pines
With a faint inky green color, the entire valley covered, as if Helan Mountain had never been deserted
From the observation deck down the ridge towards Ba Feng, not far away is the Helan Cloud Sky
It is a viewpoint of the South Temple Scenic Area, and it is also the only way to Ba Feng
There are log cabins built in scenic spots on the mountain beams, and it is not known whether to protect the environment or destroy the environment
On the hillside of helan clouds grew a dense patch of fists
Boxer, also known as boxing ginseng, is a perennial herb that is generally distributed in meadows of 2,000 to 3,000 meters
Hardy and drought tolerant, it is suitable for growing in the arid and cold Helan Mountains
Rhizomes can be medicated, which has the effect of clearing heat and calming alarms, rationalizing dampness and reducing swelling
The flowers are small stick-shaped and shaped like mulberries that are eaten daily
Available in a variety of colors: white, pink, yellow and a variety of colors
Maybe it was because of the strong sunshine on Helan Mountain
The helan cloud sky and the boxers on ba feng are mainly white
They are very inconspicuous to look at from a distance, and they cannot even be seen from a little farther away
But when you crawl down and look out from their point of view
They are the center and theme of the world, the masters of Helan Mountain here and now
There is nothing richer than their beauty and tallness
The wind does not blow, the rain and snow are fearless, and the snow is brilliant
