北米の峠・トップ20

約2100mからは、両側の峠の素晴らしい景色が見えます。しばしばまだ雪に覆われており、スキー小屋にいるような気分になります。

This area is really so incredibly beautiful.

Reaching the summit of Logan Pass by bike is a true high point—literally and figuratively—of any ride in Glacier National Park. At 6,646 feet, the pass straddles the Continental Divide and offers sweeping views of alpine meadows, rugged peaks, and likely some mountain goats. The visitor center at the top has restrooms, water, interpretive displays, and rangers on hand to answer questions. It’s also a jumping-off point for iconic hikes like the Hidden Lake Overlook and Highline Trail.

A monument depicting the passage of Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés into the Valley of Mexico in 1520, mounted on a roundabout that provides access in several directions: Tlamacas (closed since the 1990s), Izta-Popo Refuge, Xalitzintla, Iztaccíhuatl, and San Pedro Nexapa. Its now-classic "Paso de Cortés" sign is a place where you can take a souvenir photo (of the achievement), which is currently obscure due to the countless stickers pasted by people from various cycling, motorcycling, mountaineering, and other clubs. Here, in addition to the beautiful view, you'll also find plenty of food on weekends; during the week, it's difficult to find supplies. The cold is usually very high, so always be prepared for the changes in mountain weather.
