[One mountain per week], today we walk: Fenghuanggou - Eagle's Mouth Cliff - Bald Mountain - Toad Ditch in Fengyuli, this route is 23 kilometers, with a cumulative elevation of 1300 meters, Eagle's Mouth Cliff is 2700 meters above sea level, and Bald Mountain is 2886 meters above sea level. There are dangerous peaks, beautiful views, and it is worth visiting.
Eagle's Mouth Cliff, also known as Phoenix's Mouth, is named after a huge granite rock standing at the top of the mountain, which looks like an eagle with its head held high. It is located on the back of the Qinling Ridge, which crosses the north and south, with babbling streams, primitive trees, and majestic peaks, facing the Bald Head Mountain.
Bald Head Mountain, located in Fengyu, is known as Bald Head Mountain because there is grass and no trees at the top of the mountain, and it looks bare from a distance. At the top of the mountain, there are Shaanxi Radio and Television Transmission Tower, open alpine meadows, spectacular sea of clouds, net red stones, rhododendrons, etc., which can overlook the Taibai Mountain, ice crystal top, deer antler beam, etc., which is a famous net red mountain in Shaanxi.
Navigate to Eagle's Mouth Cliff Homestay on a map, and the car is parked in the courtyard of the farmhouse. Then walk 50 meters back (north) to reach the trailhead.

When a complete, high-headed eagle stands in front of us, we are amazed.

The Jianzhu forest is intermittent, with a total of 3.5 kilometers to walk. After 13 kilometers, cross the small lawn and come to a fork in the road, the left side is to retreat (no need to go to the top), and the right side to climb the bald head mountain, where you can already see the red house at the top of the mountain.
After 15 kilometers, climb Bald Mountain overlooking The Eagle's Beak Cliff, purple bush cuckoos and sporadic hedgehogs. We chose to go down the mountain from Toad Gully today, and if we have enough time, we can also take the forest road and descend the mountain from the watershed. Of course, you can also pass through Bald Mountain to Staghorn Beam or The Great Temple. (Due to the arrival of twilight at this time, the photo is relatively dim)

The road to Xia Bald Head Mountain is 7 kilometers, very easy to walk, from the red house, along the black cable, even the bungee jump less than 2 hours down to the 210 National Highway Xiawang Farm.
This route, in addition to the two stone steep slopes on the Eagle's Mouth Cliff is a little more difficult, the overall is quite good, and the beautiful scenery of the dangerous peaks on this route is indeed nostalgic.
