山谷大道（High Road）, 又俗称上坡路，是从与朝西的河间大道及贯通南北的国王大道交汇点的十字路口客栈起，朝东蜿蜒贯穿明月山脉的血门直通艾林谷的一条主干道。
这条道路荒凉而危险，蜿蜒穿越了明月山脉的陡峭的山脉与茂密的丛林，翻越了高高的山脊得以进入艾林谷的谷底。走在这条路上，时常会被高山氏族部落或者影子山猫问候，而且时常由于大雪封山而关闭。这条道路某些部分只能称之为山间小道。[1]
The high road[1] or eastern road[2] is the sole pass through the Mountains of the Moon to the Bloody Gate and on to the Eyrie in the Vale of Arryn.[3] The path is steep and stony[4] and can be closed by snow.[5]
描述
West of the Mountains of the Moon, the high road meets the inn at the crossroads in the riverlands, where it connects with the river road running west and the kingsroad running north and south.[6] The high road is more dangerous than these other roads.[2]
The high road runs east from the crossroads through foothills and forests toward the mountains of the Vale of Arryn. Towers of unmortared stone are located among the foothills, and one defensive location consists of an earthen wall four feet high closing off the road between two rocky outcrops.[7] Once among the mountains, travelers must be wary of deep chasms and rock slides as they navigate the high passes, and they also risk being attacked by wild mountain clansmen and shadowcats.[2][1][8]
In parts the high road is just a stony track.[1] The mountain pass opens up after the Bloody Gate, descending two miles on a winding path to the Vale proper below, with the Gates of the Moon and the Eyrie nearby at the Giant's Lance.[9]
历史
The high road has seen much blood spilled throughout history.[4]
An army five thousand strong led by Ser Robert Rowan was sent by the Iron Throne to restore order in the Vale of Arryn after a succession conflict broke out there upon the death of Jeyne Arryn, Lady of the Eyrie. Believing the Mountains of the Moon would be passable with the coming of spring, Robert's host took the high road to enter the Vale. On the march, the column struggled through deep snows and was attacked by mountain clans. Benjicot Blackwood, Lord of Raventree Hall, assumed command after Robert was crushed by a boulder toppled by clansmen.[8]
During the Great Spring Sickness, Donnel Arryn, Lord of the Eyrie ordered the Vale of Arryn sealed off, shutting down traffic from the high road and the narrow sea to prevent the illness from spreading into the region.[10][4]

He is deceived into thinking she will take him to Winterfell, but he is blindfolded and finds they are instead on the high road to the Vale of Arryn.[1] Catelyn's party is forced to defend themselves when they are attacked on the high road by twenty-some clansmen, possibly from the Milk Snakes or Moon Brothers. Jyck, Kurleket, and Mohor are slain in the attack, as are nine clansmen.[1] Catelyn's party is attacked by more clansmen on the next night,[9] with Lharys and Chiggen dying and Morrec then succumbing to a fever.[9][11] The travelers are eventually escorted to the Bloody Gate by a band of riders led by Ser Donnel Waynwood.[9]
After Bronn slays Ser Vardis Egen in Tyrion's trial by combat, Lady Lysa Arryn is forced to release the prisoner from the Eyrie.

A band of clansmen approach Tyrion and Bronn when the travelers are camped at night near the high road. In return for safe travel through the mountains, Tyrion promises the wildlings armament so they can conquer the Vale.[11]

引言
| “ | 东边的路比较崎岖，也更险恶，攀越岩石山丘和浓密树林，进入明月山脉，再穿过陡峭隘口和深渊绝壁，则会到达艾林谷，以及更远处崎岖多石的五指半岛。[2] | ” |
—— 凯特琳·史塔克心想
|
| “ | 当他看见眼前狭窄的石头路，四周愈见陡峭险恶的丘陵地势，以及远方地平线上呈锯齿状的覆雪峰峦，心中一切希望顿时化为乌有。[1] | ” |
—— 提利昂·兰尼斯特心想
|
| “ | 唐纳尔：夫人，您应该先捎个信来，那样的话，我们就可以派人护送。这年头山路的安全不比从前，更何况您只带了这么点人。 凯特琳：唐纳尔爵士，我们的确是尝到了惨痛的教训。[9] |
