海拔1,700公尺的北得拉曼山，是新竹民眾口中的鳥嘴山，亦是考驗泰雅族少年勇氣與智慧之地。有三個登山口，一個從部落出發到達巨木，約需2個鐘頭以上；另一登山口所需時間最短，但得攀爬繩索，挑戰將近90度的峭壁，刺激驚險成就感最高，約1個鐘頭即可見巨木，登山沿途瀰漫濃重的霧氣，部分地面濕滑而陡峭，需格外小心。北得拉曼巨木屬罕見的低海拔紅檜木群，檜木之得以保留至今，是因為日據時代日人認為這群檜木「形」不夠美而放棄，加上長久以來泰雅族人視為聖地，不輕易讓外人進入，始保存迄今。 Beidelaman Mountain, height of 1700 meters above sea level, is the “Beak Mountain” nicknamed by Hsinchu people. It was the place for testing Ataya youth’s bravery and wisdom. The giant trees of Beidelaman Mountain are the rare low altitude red juniper trees. They are able to persist to date because the Japanese thought they were not graceful in shape and hence gave up on using them in any application. Plus the Ataya people regard the place as the sacred land and did not let the outsiders enter, so these trees have been preserved well.
