From SummitPost:
"Mount Keith is a seldom-climbed summit just North of Shephard Pass. Overshadowed by its southern neighbors, Mount Tyndall and Mount Williamson, Mount Keith sees only a handful of visitors every year. Also the fact that Mount Keith falls 23ft short of being a 14er seems to deter many from attempting its summit."
The vertical relief here, like with similar peaks on the southern Sierra Crest, was awesome to behold. Superbly inaccessible reaches practically at arm's reach.
Not certain if this is damage from the eruption or some other issue. What I can say is that it was very humbling to drive through the areas that had been deforested.
There is some exposed, very ancient panelling in one of the upstairs rooms, which made for some interesting texture.

Half a mile tall and nothing more than a pimple.....
My aunt, who lives in the town of Mount Shasta, said that this is still an active volcano that erupts about every 300 years.

Jackie is leading the way to the waterfall. Mount Wilson is uniquely different area of the Blue Mountains. It is most famous for its private gardens and fabulous trees. Distance from Sydney 124km.
Mount Wilson & Mount Irvine also experiences high rainfall. Combine the rainfall with volcanic soils and you have a perfect formula for cool-climate gardens. Surveyed in 1868, Mount Wilson was named after John Bowie Wilson, the colonies Minister for Lands. To get to Mount Wilson take the turn off on the Bell’s Line of Road between Bell and Berambing. Gardens in Mount Wilson include Yengo Sculpture Gardens featuring Australia's first endangered wildlife reserve, Nooroo including a world famous wisteria collection, Sefton Cottage, Koonawarra, Cherry Cottage, Clairne, Windyridge, Wynsta, Linden, Merry Grath and the overwhelming Lindfield Park. Mount Wilson holds an annual Autumn Garden Festival during April and May each year.
Walks and picnic grounds are also very special in Mount Wilson. A beautiful location for a picnic is opposite 'The Cathedral of Ferns' - not to be missed. Back towards Bells Line of Road you will discover Bowens Creek Picnic Ground. Other places of interest include Wynne’s Rock Lookout, Du Faurs Rock, and Pheasants Cave.

Decided to drive up to my favorite spot on Pilchuck last night as the sky looked promising and the recent fires across the mountains have been sending smoke our direction. Was so happy I made the trip!

The Rongai Route is one of the easiest routes and the success rate is very high.
The route starts on the north side of the mountain just south of the Kenyan border, and is one of the least traveled routes. The descent is down the Marangu Route on the south side of the mountain, so climbers see the mountain from many view points.
The drive to the trail head takes about 2.5 hours from Moshi through many villages and coffee plantations, including a stop to register climbing permits at Marangu.
The Rongai Route can also be accessed from Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Allow 2 hours including border crossing. We will need copies of passports ahead of time.
Day 1 : Drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Rongai Gate (Nale Moru), Hike to Simba Camp
Drive to the attractive wooden village of Nale Moru (about 2 hours including a stop to get permits at Marangu). After signing in and preparing the porters, you will begin the hike on a wide path that winds through fields of maize and potatoes before entering pine forest. The track then starts to climb consistently but gently through attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone with extensive views over the Kenyan plains.

· Budget Lodging: Second Cave Camp
Day 3 : Hike Second Cave to Kikelewa Camp
Head out across the moorland on a smaller path towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. The campsite is in a sheltered valley with giant Senecios nearby.
· Elevation: 3450m/11,300ft to 3600m/11,800ft
· Distance: 9km/5mi
· Walking Time: 2-3 hours
· Habitat: Semi-desert
· Meals: BLD
· Budget Lodging: Kikelewa Camp
Day 4 : Hike Kikelewa Camp to Mawenzi Tarn
A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by superb views. Leave the vegetation behind shortly before reaching the next camp at Mawenzi Tarn, spectacularly situated in a cirque directly beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding area as an aid to acclimatization.
If you are spending an extra day on the mountain, you will camp for two nights here. You can hike up and around Mawenzi for your acclimatization hike.
· Elevation: 3600m/11,800ft to 4330m/14,200ft
· Distance: 6km/4mi
· Walking Time: 3-4 hours
· Habitat: Semi-desert
· Meals: BLD
· Budget Lodging: Mawenzi Tarn Camp
Day 5 : Hike Mawenzi Tarn to Kibo Hut
Cross the lunar desert of the ‘Saddle’ between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach Kibo campsite at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for the final ascent very early.
· Elevation: 4330m/14,200ft to 4750m/15,600ft
· Distance: 9km/5mi
· Hiking Time: 4-5 hours
· Habitat: Alpine Desert
· Meals: BLD
· Budget Lodging: Kibo Hut Camp
Day 6 : Kibo Camp to Summit and Horombo Hut
Very early in the morning (midnight to 2am), commence the climb to the summit on steep and heavy scree or snow up to Gilman’s Point located on the crater rim (elev 5700m/18,700ft). Continuing, we now ascend to Uhuru Peak, which is the highest point in Africa. There are unbelievable views at every turn. Have your picture taken at the summit to show your friends and family. From here we descend, stopping for lunch and a rest at Kibo before continuing on to the Horombo encampment.
The beginning of this climb is done in the dark and requires headlamps or flashlights. It will be very cold until you start descending, so you will need all of your warm layers. This is by far the most difficult part of the trek with many switchbacks. Going slowly “pole pole” and an optimistic attitude will get you there!

This house was roughly located on what is now the top end of Grand Parade, not far from the Wish Tower (which is visible in the back of the photo) and according to Eastbourne memories by G.F.Chambers 'Proceeding Eastwards from the Wish [Tower], there was nothing to interrupt the pedestrian save two houses, one called Cliff Cottage [located on St John's Road] and the other Mount Pleasant, close by'
Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.
