Erziping Trail Live Cam

Origins and Early Development of the Trail

The Erziping Trail lies within the heart of Yangmingshan National Park, in a basin-shaped plateau surrounded by volcanic peaks. The area was originally shaped by volcanic activity in the Tatun Mountain Range, with the land slowly settling into its present form after centuries of erosion and sediment deposition. Historically, the site was used by early settlers for grazing livestock due to its abundant grasslands, while indigenous communities regarded it as a strategic resting point during seasonal migrations. Over time, it evolved from a simple footpath into a structured hiking route, with conservation efforts turning it into one of the park’s most accessible trails.
