Mount Lesueur Grevillea (Grevillea batrachioides). Kings Park, Western Australian Botanic Garden, Perth, Western Australia.
Taken during a visit to the Mount Emei area near Chengdu in China in December 2013.
These particular photos were taken from my arrival at the Mount Emei Scenic Area, on the climb up to the "Golden Summit" area by foot and cable car, and the descent back down again, including all those crazy tibetan macaques which just love to grab goodies from the passing tourists.

This was a very fun trip and I hope to do it again next year. As a member of the Peninsula Wilderness club for almost a year now, I still had not gone on any outings with them. This all changed on this Sunday as 3 other members and myself did the "Koski" Loop. This loop is un-officially named after one of the members that first suggested this hike to the group. The hike starts at the Tubal Cain trailhead then veers off onto the Tull Canyon trail going to its end and eventually going off trail at its end climbing up to the col or saddle between Hawk Peak and Mount Worthington. Once on the ridge or col, travel northeast on the ridge until you reach the top of Hawk Peak. After summiting Hawk Peak. Make your way down towards Silver Lake which is visible from the ridge onto a faint boot path which is also visible from the ridge and through a large scree field until you reach the lake. Once you are at the lake, head on to the Silver Lake trail and follow it up the ridge between Welch Peak and Mount Townsend. For a quick summit bear right or south for an easy scramble to the top of Welch Peak. After Welch, head back down the ridge to regain the Silver Lake Trail and continue until you reach the Mount Townsend Trail. Take a left or west, going uphill towards Mount Townsend following trail until you get to summit. From summit going north, trail becomes the Little Quilcen Trail Continue downhill to a junction veering left and staying on ridge. This trail is also known as the Dirty Face Ridge Trail. Follow steep downhill trail until you reach the trailhead at road. A short walk downhill returns you to the start of the the hike.
Total Miles for trip, 16 or 17 depending on who you ask. Elevation - Just over a mile at around 5400 feet.

Standing tall at 5,366 feet in elevation in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Mount Madison is the northernmost mountain in the Presidential Range. Mount Madison and the Presidentials, including nearby Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson and Mount Washington all rise well above treeline into the alpine zone. Weather can be very changeable and harsh without much notice. On this trip, we lucked out with clear skies, but a steady wind.
We began at the Appalachia Trailhead on Route 2, just outside of Gorham, NH. From there, we took the Sylvan Way Trail to the Howker Ridge Trail. The Howker Ridge Trail climbs steeply after Hitchcock Falls, making its way over a series of small peaks on the ridge, eventually ending above treeline at the intersection with the Osgood Trail (which is also the Appalachian Trail). From there, we followed the Osgood Trail over the summit of Mount Madison and down to the Madison Springs Hut.
The Appalachian Mountain Club huts are always a welcome break from a hike in the White Mountains. They offer a comfortable place to rest, restrooms, clean water, and if you want to spend a few dollars, freshly baked goods and coffee.
After resting at the hut, we made our way over to the Airline Trail to descend back to Appalachia. The Airline is one of the most scenic trails in the area, following a narrow ridge along the edge of King's Ravine, offering views both up the mountain and down into the valley. The trail descends more than 3500 feet to Appalachia, so you're knees will definitely feel it by the end!
This was a 10 mile hike with about 4,300 feet of elevation gain. We'd classify this as a difficult hike, with rock scrambles, a few small climbs over large rocks, and then a very long and rocky descent on the Airline.
This Carthusian Priory is now in the care of English Heritage.

English Heritage have reconstructed one of the cells to give an impression how each monk lived.
Mount Grace Priory was founded in 1398 by Richard II’s nephew Thomas de Holland.
It is the best-preserved Carthusian monastery in England. The priory is even used by historians as a ‘type site’, or model, for the study of other medieval Carthusian buildings.
Mount Grace was one of only nine Carthusian monasteries, also known as charterhouses, in medieval England.
Carthusian monks lived solitary lives. They spent most of their time in isolated cells and lived according to a strict timetable.
Mount Grace was one of the last monasteries in Yorkshire to be suppressed during the Reformation.
In the 17th century, part of the priory was remodelled as a mansion.
In the early 20th century, the site was bought by wealthy industrialist Lowthian Bell. Bell enlarged and remodelled the mansion at Mount Grace in the Arts and Crafts style championed by William Morris.
The Scrambles of the Canadian Rockies book essentially described the scramble up Mount Lineham as "take the Rowe Lakes trail for an hour and then turn up the first avalanche slope to the right. In the end, I didn't find those directions sufficient and I bumbled around for quite a bit trying to figure out where exactly that was supposed to be. In the meantime, it was an incredible October's day and great to be outside in such a beautiful area. As much as I wanted to get up the mountain, I have no regrets about the way the day was spent. It was so beautiful and I felt as though I nearly had the park all to myself.
