清境珂之幄山莊是由家庭經營的民宿，位於台十四甲10.8公里處，居藏於中台灣山脈中。因在主要交通道路旁，地理交通便利，是往返合歡山與中橫的旅人之最佳住宿地點。

Taiwan National Route 14 - Jia (台14甲)

The Route 14 - Jia is the route that cuts across Taiwan's Central Mountains, connecting the western part with the eastern. This route was built by veterans of the Nationalist Army (aka. KMT 國民黨) back in 1940s to 1960s. It goes through Wuling (武嶺), the highest elevation of Taiwan's national road system, and Taroko National Park (太魯閣國家公園), where visitors can spend days exploring its trails and gorge. The Route 14 - Jia continues and ends in Hualien City (花蓮市), while covering the ecosystem at the altitude from 700M to 3300M.

台十四甲起點從霧社開始，貫穿中央山脈，成為台灣中部橫貫公路，連接台灣西部都會區與東部。此路線是由榮民篳路藍縷鑿建而成，一路來到台灣公路最高點「武嶺」，途經太魯閣國家公園與太魯閣峽谷，在花蓮境內作結。一路上海拔落差大，海拔從約七百公尺到三千三百公尺，是最便利、最親民的駕車遊覽台灣低海拔到高海拔生態的路線。

Easiest Gateway to Nature All Year Round 一年四季適合遊覽

Since most part of the route and Hehuan Mountain only cover in snow during February to March, it is a perfect spot for visitors all year round. It is also a famous route for cyclists and runners to challenge their perseverance and stamina, especially for those who start from the east (Hualien) to the west (Wuling). With a 40-minute drive, travellers will have the accesses to various trails in Hehuan Mountain, scaling from easy (30-minute round-trip) to medium-difficult (8+hour round-trip).

台十四甲部份路段與合歡山的雪季並不常，通常在二月到三月之間，所以一年四季，風情萬種。這條路線也是知名的自行車、越野馬拉松路線，尤以東進（花蓮出發往山區）路線最具挑戰性。而駕車遊覽的旅客，只需要約四十分鐘的車程，就可以抵達合歡山周遭各個登山步道，難度從簡單（半小時來回）到中上（八小時來回）都有。
