Hiking the 16km-long Samaria Gorge, one of Europe's longest canyons, is high on the list of must-dos for many Crete visitors. There’s an undeniable raw beauty to the canyon with its soaring cliffs and needle-nose passageways. The hike begins at an elevation of 1230m just south of Omalos and ends in the coastal village of Agia Roumeli
Die Partnachklamm ist eine 702 Meter lange und vom Wildbach Partnach teilweise über 80 Meter tief eingeschnittene Klamm im Reintal nahe Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The Partnach Gorge (German: Partnachklamm) is a deep gorge that has been incised by a mountain stream, the Partnach, in the Reintal valley near the south German town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
I really wish I had taken a shot of the approach to this location. After a short walk along a stream that was flowing rather slowly when were there, you approach a huge log jam that crosses the entire stream. It's up to 10-15 feet high and there is no way around, only over. So with all of our gear in tow, we climbed our way over the top to find this amazing view.
There is a waterfall a little beyond what you can see here, but the approach requires going through some very deep water. Since none of us had geared up for a swimming approach, we settled for the canyon view.

A view of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone taken from Uncle Tom's trail.
Have a most wonderful weekend!
We took my two cousins for a drive along the Gorges du Verdon yesterday. We stopped earlier in Moustiers for a coffee while a ferocious thunderstorm raged outside. Once it had abated we ran for the car and set off. The rain ceased but the lightning continued. It was spectacular (and a little bit scary). When we came back the same way about two hours later we were greeted by this. Quite the contrast to a few hours previously.

Thank you for your visit!
Enjoy a terrific Tuesday!

Some lovely must before we lost all the leaves this Autumn.

From mist we drove north into bright summer sunshine. In forming the gorge the Rakaia river has carved its way down eons of years of sediments leaving a highly textured cliff face beside the road. The day ended in torrential rain but that is a story for tomorrow.
We spent the day at Taughannock Falls State Park with the splendid 400 foot gorge walls and 215 foot waterfall.
One of the most photographed pieces of architecture in The Columbia River Gorge - Benson Bridge was crafted by Italian stone masons, allows visitors to cross the falls between it's lower and upper cataracts. In 1914, Simon Benson, a prominent businessman and owner of the falls at that time, erected the bridge. Before then, a log bridge was in its place.....
Wishing everyone a wonderful "Waterfall" weekend.........!

The view of the Atigun River Gorge looking south into the core of the Brooks Range, seen from the front of a helicopter flying over the north ridge. The serrated ridge across the valley (~ 5000’/ 1500m) is composed up of the Fortress Mountain formation, a mix of marine and non-marine sediments, including, siltstones, conglomerates, and carbon rich strata with carbonized plant debris (logs/ coal) of Cretaceous age. Marine fossils (molluscs) occur in the lighter colored sediments. The influence of water in the drainage channels on vegetation is clear from the darker green stripes leading to the Atigun River. The higher peaks (all un-named) in the back are around 7000’ / 2100 m, some of which have remnant glaciers clinging to their slopes. At this latitude (68.5˚ N) the sun doesn’t set during the summer- this was taken around 9 pm, with the sun still fairly high in the WNW.
Gorge walks are great fun, you are guaranteed to get wet, but with the right equipment, it is very rewarding to complete.
