This summer there were not too many days like this in Switzerland - beautiful weather and perfect hiking conditions. This time between Frutigen and Adelboden, Bernese Oberland.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
One of the craziest and yet surreal experiences of my life was taking this tour onto a massive glacier on the Icefields Parkway in Canada. The colors, textures, and surroundings were off the charts. You can't imagine how slippery it is to even take one step.
This is located near the quite moderate sized town of Ithaca NY a park that mostly caters to local regional hikers from the lack of any out of state license plates I saw in the parking area. The hike to these falls was any easy hike for anyone in decent physical condition and was worth the five hours of putting the pedal to the metal for me to get there. The falls drop 115 feet and there is a viewing area at the base of the falls you can get to. This park was named after Robert H Treman a wealthy businessman and conservationist who bought the land and just a few years later donated the land to state as a park in 1920.
This was what my granddaughter, Ada was looking for, that she could dip a stick she carrying into it.:-))
Syracusa/Siracusa, Sicily
I started in the morning, but it was long and hot throughout the day.
I don't usually make such big mistakes, but this time I ran out of water. That was why I had to turn around and walk back....
But, this path along the coast was lush, wild and beautiful
- so I want to go back some day. Then I want to walk much further and bring enough water with me 😊
Hiking at Kerlingarfjöll is a rewarding experience. We got lost for the first time hiking, away from the planned trial, reached to glacier direction, the strong wind and cold weather almost killed us although I wore snow pants and thin down jacket. Here are some tips for hikers at Kerlingarfjöll:
-Research and Plan: research the trails, weather conditions, and any potential hazards in the area.
-Check Weather Conditions: Icelandic weather can be unpredictable. Be prepared for sudden changes in weather and pack appropriate clothing and gear.
-Carry Essential Gear: a sturdy backpack, hiking boots, extra clothing layers, GPS device, food and water.
-Stay on Marked Trails: Stick to marked trails and avoid venturing off into unmarked areas, as it can be easy to get lost in the wilderness.
-Be Mindful of Wildlife: While wildlife encounters are rare in Kerlingarfjöll. Respect the natural habitat and keep a safe distance from any animals you may encounter.
Hiking in Kerlingarfjöll offers a combination of geothermal wonders, colorful landscapes, remote wilderness, and stunning views, making it a special and memorable experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
Have a wonderful weekend my Flicker friends!
The Olfen quarry near Beerfelden is a small red sand quarry that was closed in 1975. Since part of its inventory is still in place, the quarry is operated as an open-air museum.
We took a shorter hike along part of the Ice Age Trail today. It just dipped into the 30’s for the first time a few nights ago and we’re loving that the mosquitoes are finally gone! The smell of decaying leaves and pine was incredible on this hike, as were the golden colors.
We hiked at Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, Arizona last week. The park is in the Superstition Mountains which have long been rumored to have rich veins of gold. Some beautiful views and even a few wildflowers.
Wright Peak is the 16th highest peak in the High Peaks of the Adirondack Park, NY with an elevation of 4587 feet. There are 46 high peaks in the area, and so far I've done four. I've got lots more hiking to do! Lake Placid is down below, which hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1980.

Sometimes it's better to hike out to where the waves are breaking than to paddle out there. But, you have to deal with the cliffs while carrying your board.

The weather forecast almost prevented us from going but we took the chance and were rewarded with this. Colorado, USA
This is an old photo I took at Zion National Park in Utah several years ago. I found this while cleaning up some old photo files, and figured I post this since I have not yet posted this particular image. Angels Landing is the peak in the center of the photo. This image was taken from Observation Point, at the end of a beautiful hike that is one of my favorites.
