【雲林草嶺線】峭壁雄風霸四方 清溪步道通幽境
古坑草嶺，位於雲林、嘉義和南投交界處，深處在雲林的東邊，堪稱雲林的後花園。身為雲林人，就算住在對望的海邊，也要不辭遙遠的親自探訪這遠離塵囂的世外桃源。
當車子緩緩駛入山林，走在蜿蜒曲折的149甲線道，發現重新鋪設的路面格外好行駛。望著遠方的遼闊，映入眼簾的盡是藍天、白雲及層巒，自然美景任君享用。
一路風塵僕僕，看到草嶺隧道，不禁大喊:「草嶺，我來啦!」
今日行程安排是草嶺十景中的三個景點:峭壁雄風、水濂洞與青蛙石，由清水溪畔設立的步道連貫相通，無須再車行各點，形成一個0型縱走。
一路行經的路線如下：持明寺->峭壁步道->峭壁雄峰->清溪步道->水簾洞步道->青蛙石->幽情谷步道->草嶺社區->茄苳步道->持明寺
[「千里之行始於足下」，在持明寺附近停妥車，便展開後花園的探索之旅。]{“alt”:“09c7c7ad3c91575f71249542cef8d16c.jpg”,“caption”:“09c7c7ad3c91575f71249542cef8d16c.jpg”,“dataHeight”:800,“dataWidth”:600,“hash”:“0hBnc92I3LHUFeQDThnvViFmQWHi5tLA5COnZMQh0uQ3UkIlxFN3JRL31JRyMgclofMHZRJnNABnAmcVhAZ3NR”,“quality”:0,“style”:0}

[青蛙石是因為岩石受岩層層理和構造的影響，再加上水刻與風蝕的關係，因緣際會之下便形成了神似青蛙的岩石。然而，這麼艱深難懂的形成因素誰記得了？因此有了關於青蛙石的趣談:據傳這裡原有兩隻青蛙，一公一母，在草嶺潭潰堤時，雌蛙跳入溪水中一去不回。雌蛙離開後，雄蛙極為悶悶不樂，尤其是天氣惡劣的情人節，更加深對雌蛙的思念之情，甚至還會聽到陣陣淒涼的叫聲。]{“alt”:“e5c4fd375689b3181614bc8d7b1f1b3a.jpg”,“caption”:“e5c4fd375689b3181614bc8d7b1f1b3a.jpg”,“dataHeight”:600,“dataWidth”:800,“hash”:“0h5hZeV9CxakdnHEPnp54VEF1KaShUcHlEAyo7RCRyNHMdfitDDi8hKUQbZyAdKS0ZCSolKEUecXYfLS9GXigh”,“quality”:0,“style”:0}
