It was worth it today.

今天的付出是值得的。

♪ You're gone now or you're coming back ♪ ♪ Yeah I know that, yeah I know that ♪

你走了，或者你會回來 是的，我知道，是的，我知道

Today I've driven out to Banks Lake, which is in kind of the central Eastern Washington region.

今天，我驅車前往班克斯湖，它位於華盛頓州東部中部地區。

And I'm going to be hiking up Steamboat Rock, which as the name suggests is a rock that kind of looks like a steamboat that's sitting here in the middle of the lake.

我將徒步攀登蒸汽船岩石，顧名思義，這塊岩石就像坐在湖中央的蒸汽船。

It's a pretty popular hike.

這是一次相當受歡迎的徒步旅行。

Several people have told me I need to come do this.

有幾個人告訴我，我需要來做這件事。

And I was always planning on coming and doing it in the summer.

我一直計劃著夏天來做這件事。

But to be honest, I'm just kind of tired of waiting for summer.

但老實說，我只是有點厭倦了等待夏天。

So I'm here today.

所以我今天來了。

It's a relatively really nice day.

今天的天氣相對來說真的很好。

It's pretty cold, but it's beautiful.

這裡很冷，但很美。

There's like a dusting of snow.

就像下了一場雪。

And the great thing about doing things in the winter is no one's around.

在冬天做事的最大好處就是周圍沒有人。

No one is here today.

今天沒有人在這裡。

And this is a really popular spot in the summertime, especially for camping.

這裡在夏季非常受歡迎，尤其是露營。

Can you guys hear all of these birds behind me?

你們能聽到我身後的鳥叫聲嗎？

It's like I hit the record button and a hundred geese were like, let's go get in on that.

就好像我按下錄製鍵，一百多隻鵝就會說："我們一起錄吧"。

Before I start heading up the rock,

在我開始攀巖之前

I want to say thank you to Backcountry for sponsoring today's video and keeping me warm.

我要感謝 Backcountry 贊助今天的視頻，讓我感到溫暖。

I'm wearing the Arcteryx Zeta LT jacket, which for starters, I need an entire wardrobe in this color.

我穿的是 Arcteryx Zeta LT 夾克，首先，我需要一整套這個顏色的衣櫃。

I love this color.

我喜歡這個顏色。

This jacket is entirely waterproof.

這款夾克完全防水。

It's windproof.

防風

It goes perfectly over my insulating layer.

它可以完美地覆蓋在我的保溫層上。

I'm also wearing the Fall Raven Abisko Trekking Tight from Backcountry, which I've told you guys about before.

我還穿著 Backcountry 的 Fall Raven Abisko Trekking 緊身衣，我之前跟你們介紹過它。

These tights are amazing because they have this grippy technical material on the knees and on the bum.

這些緊身褲非常棒，因為它們在膝蓋和臀部都採用了防滑技術材料。

So if you're sitting on rocks, scooting over rocks, climbing on things with your knees, those parts of the tights are reinforced.

是以，如果你坐在石頭上、在石頭上滑行、用膝蓋攀爬東西，緊身衣的這些部分就會得到加固。

Some exclusions do apply, and I will have a link down below.

有些情況不適用，我將在下面提供鏈接。

Well, I think the easy part is done because the trail just turned into this.

好了，我想簡單的部分已經完成了，因為小路就變成了這樣。

It's just rocks.

只是石頭而已。

According to the map, that's the way to go.

從地圖上看，這才是正確的方向。

Okay.

好的

I underestimated this hike a little bit.

我有點低估了這次遠足。

That last stretch, I was literally on my hands and knees crawling up just a whole bunch of rocks.

最後一段路，我真的是手腳並用，爬上了一大堆石頭。

I'm filthy now, like muddy and dirty.

我現在又髒又臭。

Had to take a layer off.

不得不脫掉一層。

So just a heads up, if you come to do this one, you're gonna be doing a little bit of rock scrambling.

所以提醒一下，如果你來做這個項目，你將需要做一些攀巖的工作。

I'm on the very, very last stretch.

我已經到了最後關頭。

I've almost made it.

我就快成功了。

Come all the way up here.

快過來

This is deceptively hard, but the sun is starting to come out back there and I've got like 50 steps to go.

但後面太陽開始出來了，我還有50步要走。

So let's do this.

那就這麼辦吧。

This is so beautiful.

太美了

Wow.

哇

We've got some snowy hills over on this side.

我們這邊有一些雪山。

And is that a cloud?

那是雲嗎？

Are we up in the clouds?

我們在雲端嗎？

Okay. So this was totally worth it.

好吧，這完全值得

The view is insane.

美不勝收

And it's kind of cool that I am the only person on this rock right now.

現在這塊石頭上只有我一個人，這也挺酷的。

There's literally no one else up here.

這裡一個人都沒有。

I can see down to the parking lot and I can see my one lonely single car down in the parking lot.

我可以看到停車場，也可以看到我那輛孤獨的單人車停在停車場。

Like I've got the rock to myself.

就好像這塊石頭是我一個人的。

So the name of the city that I'm in is Electric City, which for starters is just the coolest name ever for a city.

我所在城市的名字叫 "電氣城"，首先，這是史上最酷的城市名字。

And I believe it has that name because this is where the historic Grand Coulee Dam is, which if you haven't heard of the Grand Coulee Dam, based on my very brief internet search to make sure I had this right, the Grand Coulee Dam was at one point the largest concrete structure in the world.

我相信它之所以叫這個名字，是因為這裡就是歷史悠久的大庫裡水壩（Grand Coulee Dam）所在地，如果你沒聽說過大庫裡水壩（Grand Coulee Dam），根據我在互聯網上的簡短搜索，以確保我沒有弄錯，大庫裡水壩（Grand Coulee Dam）曾一度是世界上最大的混凝土結構。

And it employed thousands of people during the depression era.

在經濟蕭條時期，它還僱用了數千人。

So it was like really, really big for jobs.

所以，這對工作來說真的非常大。

But then also during World War II,

但在第二次世界大戰期間也是如此、

I believe its hydropower played a huge part in powering aluminum and airplane production.

我相信它的水力發電在鋁和飛機生產中發揮了巨大作用。

And some people, I have no idea if this is true.

而有些人，我不知道這是不是真的。

There are some people who say the Grand Coulee Dam is one of the key factors in the allies winning the war, is its ability to help production.

有人說，大庫裡水壩是盟軍贏得戰爭的關鍵因素之一，因為它能夠幫助生產。

I'm not a historian. I have no idea.

我不是歷史學家。我不知道。

But yeah, it's a pretty big deal.

不過，這也是件大事。

And the city got named Electric City, which is awesome.

這座城市被命名為 "電氣城"，真是太棒了。

It's starting to get just a little chilly up here.

這裡開始有點冷了。

I had to get my hat on.

我不得不戴上帽子。

I've just been taking some pictures as the sun is starting to dip.

太陽開始下山的時候，我剛拍了幾張照片。

I've been trying to think of some other outdoor adventures

我一直在想其他的戶外探險活動

I can do this winter.

這個冬天我能行

A lot of the trails around here right now require snowshoes because the snow is too deep, but I've never tried snowshoeing.

由於積雪太深，現在這裡的很多小路都需要穿雪鞋，但我從未嘗試過穿雪鞋。

And I've always imagined that snowshoeing is like walking with flippers on.

我一直認為，穿雪鞋就像穿著腳蹼走路一樣。

Like, you know, when you have to just keep your feet like pointed up and waddle around, which I know that can't be what it's like because people would have to be crazy to go walking through the mountains in flippers.

就像，你知道，當你不得不把腳尖向上，蹣跚而行時，我知道這不可能是什麼樣子，因為人們必須是瘋了才會穿著腳蹼在山中行走。

So maybe I should try it.

也許我應該試試。

If you're a snowshoer, let me know what you think, or if there are any tips for starting out.

如果你是雪鞋愛好者，請告訴我你的想法，或者有什麼入門技巧。

Also, I would love to know if any of you are solo hikers or backpackers.

另外，我很想知道你們當中是否有人是獨自徒步旅行者或揹包客。

There are a lot of hikes around here that I would really like to do, especially in Northern Idaho, like back into the mountains.

這裡有很多我非常想去的遠足地點，尤其是在愛達荷州北部，比如後山。

There are some like 10 mile hikes that are supposed to have really amazing views, but I know there's a lot of large wildlife back on those trails.

有一些長達 10 英里的徒步旅行路線，據說可以看到非常壯觀的景色，但我知道這些小路上有很多大型野生動物。

And usually you're fine if you're in a group because you're making noise and you're less likely to sneak up on and startle an animal, which is how a lot of attacks happen.

如果你是一群人，通常不會有什麼問題，因為你會發出聲音，而且你也不太可能偷偷摸摸地去驚嚇動物，而這正是很多襲擊事件發生的原因。

But when you're hiking by yourself, you're much more quiet.

但當你一個人徒步旅行時，你會安靜得多。

You're much more likely to get really close to something before they realize you're there.

在他們意識到你的存在之前，你更有可能真正接近某樣東西。

And I know you can carry bear spray, but I would just love to know if any of you are really avid solo hikers or backpackers, what precautions do you take with wildlife?

我知道你們可以攜帶防熊噴霧，但我很想知道，如果你們中有人是真正狂熱的獨自徒步旅行者或揹包客，你們對野生動物採取了哪些預防措施？

I love hiking by myself in like the desert or up in areas like this because I can see everything.

我喜歡一個人在沙漠或這樣的地方徒步旅行，因為我可以看到一切。

I feel like nothing's gonna sneak up on me.

我覺得沒有什麼會悄悄地來找我。

But when I'm hiking in the woods and I hear a rustle in the trees,

但是，當我在樹林裡徒步旅行時，我聽到樹叢中有沙沙聲、

I always wonder like, is that a moose?

我總在想，那是駝鹿嗎？

Is that a bear?

那是熊嗎？

Okay, getting down is way easier, obviously.

好吧，下來顯然要容易得多。

I mean, it always is.

我的意思是，它總是這樣。

But yeah, going up that thing, that was a challenge.

不過是的，要爬上那個東西，是個挑戰。

I'm so ready for longer days again, because one thing that's difficult about hiking this time of year is you have to be headed down by like 3.30 at the latest because it gets dark and you probably don't wanna be hiking in the dark.

我已經準備好迎接更長的白天了，因為每年這個時候徒步旅行都有一個難點，那就是你必須最晚在 3 點半之前下山，因為天黑了，你可能不想在黑暗中徒步旅行。

And in the summer, it's just so nice when you can still be up at a summit by like seven o'clock, eight o'clock at night.

夏天的時候，晚上七八點鐘還能爬到山頂，感覺真好。

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed coming along with me today and seeing another spot in Washington that maybe you haven't heard about.

好了，我希望你們喜歡今天和我一起去看看華盛頓的另一個景點，也許你們還沒聽說過。

I've been really trying to find places near me that would be interesting to go shoot at.

我一直在努力尋找附近有趣的拍攝地。

And also, I would highly recommend making a trip here.

另外，我強烈建議大家來這裡旅遊。

They have really nice camp spots that are open in the summer.

他們有非常不錯的營地，在夏季開放。

I'm getting off the trail.

我要下山了

Really nice camping facilities, like nice bathrooms.

露營設施真的很不錯，比如漂亮的浴室。

You can camp right on the water.

您可以在水上露營。

There's good hiking around.

周圍的徒步旅行很不錯。

It's just a really nice spot on the lake.

這只是湖邊一個非常不錯的地方。

I think especially if you have a family, this is a really nice place to bring kids in the summertime or make a trip in the winter.

我認為，特別是如果你有一個家庭，夏天帶孩子來這裡，或者冬天來這裡旅行，都是非常不錯的選擇。

It's still beautiful.

它依然美麗。

So I'm going to wrap this video up here.

所以，我要在這裡結束這段視頻。

Thank you for watching as always.

感謝您一如既往的收看。

I hope you're doing well and I will see you guys in the next one.

希望你們一切順利，我們下一屆再見。

Bye.

再見。
