Ayer, después de algunas horas de caminata por senderos internos, llegamos a la Cumbre de El Roble, hermosa vista, excelente para relajarse, salvo por la repetidora de TVN que está en el lugar.
As the river of water meandered through the forest, we too meandered with it, but sticking close to the well worn path. With each step, we kept moving lower into the forest realizing that at some point it would be necessary to climb back up. Fortunately, the many wonders of nature prevented us from moving too quickly.
The undulating floor and various bare roots, made one look were one was walking. A vividly green fern helps too anchor this shot, while thriving in a crevasse among the moss covered rocks. And, the cloud covered sky helped even out the light, preventing any harsh shadows.
Taken in Glencoe, Scotland. Three climbers about to take the path up into the three sisters mountain range.
The highest mountain in the old county of Argyll, Bidean nam Bian is the whole majestic range of mountains on the south side of Glen Coe. It's dramatic northern ridges are known as the Three Sisters, whilst the highest summits of the group are hidden away behind.
TERRAIN
Steep, rocky and complex terrain. There are well-worn paths for much of the route (indistinct for route up Stob Coire nan Lochan) but the terrain is very rocky and there are sections of steep scree and very mild scrambling. The descent from Bealach Dearg is initially very steep and loose. It usually holds snow until well into summer, making it even more difficult - be prepared for this or save this route for when the snow is gone

Another slide to digital transfer, circa 1978. Not so great, but it's a view.
A friend and I decided to do a little trek. Since we were only going for 3-4 days, we left our backpacks at our lodgings in Kathmandu and took only our sleeping bag stuff sacks, filled with only the essentials. Sleeping bag, change of underwear and socks, a little bit of TP, toothbrush and toothpaste.
The red sack in the bottom left is mine, The large animal is the ever ubiquitous wandering water buffalo.
This is a little village we passed thru on the way to higher elevations.
You could always find food and lodgings, most often with a Nepalese family. The food was lentil soup and tea, the lodging was a straw mat on the floor sometimes shared with the family as the house could be small, one story, one room.
Sometimes the owner of a "restaurant" or whatever could speak minimal English and would ask a traveler for a name for his place to attract other vagabonds.
They'd paint it on a big plank of wood to hang outside over the door.
Even the foothills of Nepal are VERY steep and we were climbing up one that felt just shy of being perpendicular. As we approached the top, we first saw the roofs, a little higher we saw a little more. Then, there it was.
The Sign.
BEANIE'S BAR and GRILL. 😅
It cracked me up and I almost fell backwards down the hill.
I'm certain the owner had absolutely no idea what that even meant, but someone probably told him the name of their favorite place back home.
But I must admit, I did secretly entertain a tortured hope for a hamburger, fries and nice cold beer.
It served lentil soup and tea.
The track leads through the sacred Tōpuni area of the Hooker Valley, which has special significance and values to Ngāi Tahu iwi, towards Aoraki/Mount Cook.
From the first of three swing bridges along the way, enjoy the views over the Mueller Lake and listen for the rumbling of avalanches from the distant Mount Sefton. Try to spot them before they crash into the Mueller Glacier below.

Merci beaucoup à tous pour vos gentils commentaires et favoris!!
Thanks a lot for your faves and comments

la montaña de colores es uno de los últimos treks con mayor acogida por su misticidad y todo lo que engloba.
Proseguiamo il nostro cammino lungo il greto del fiume diretti verso Jomoson, la valle è battuta da un fortissimo vento che soffia a noi contrario e ci accompagnerà per tutta la giornata. Incontriamo alcuni pellegrini che risalgono la Valle diretti al santuario di Muktinath e carovane di muli che trasportano mercanzie verso il Mustang... (2 foto)
Wee opted to take the trail to the right rather than trek the jeep trail. It was absolutely breathtaking!
For us in the wealthy nations, we can pay for Nepalese porters to carry our loads, and they earn less in a year than I carried in my pocket. If the country introduces more regulations, as with all regulated activities there will be costs, both financial and ethical. The tragedy in Nepal could have easily been avoided with a simple weather warning, but it remains a fact that porters will have died due to inadequate training and equipment. They are wonderful people who work to provide education and basics for their families and deserve everything they are paid and more. We could not enjoy these wonderful places without them
Great Sand Dunes National Park in southern Colorado. I traveled here specifically to take this sort of photo. Sunset casts light and shadow on the sand dunes.
The Kanchanjanga trekking trail is a diversified route whose match is found nowhere else in Nepal. You begin your trek from the Tarai lowlands of Nepal and go up to the high-lying Kanchanjanga surroundings. Mt. #Kanchanjanga is the third highest mountain on the planet. Trekking on its laps is a journey full of wilderness and adventure. This less-explored and less-crowded trail presents spectacular opportunities of trekking in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere passing through varying climates. bit.ly/2csvLhX.

Stage # 37 Beget >> Sant Aniol d'Aguja (4/4)
Sant Aniol d'Aguja.
That's all we nedeed to complete our "home" landscape: a monastery!
The church building is on the edge of the stream Sant Aniol, which passes near the apse, and the valley of Aguja (or Sant Aniol).
The monastery was founded in 859; in the middle ages had been home to a Benedictine group of monks and later a parish and a sanctuary.
Opposite the church is the house of the tailor rectory and shelter, now abandoned and in ruins.
There were lots of people spending the Saturday afternoon here, but they left by day's end. Complying with the rules of the Pyrenees, we waited till 19:00 to raise our tent - meanwhile we were doing the laundry and cooking our spaghetti lyophilized.
As most of the trekkers do, we didn't wait for the sun to set down to go to our tent to sleep...

African elephants (Loxodonta africana), range throughout the savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa and the rainforests of central and West Africa.
Elephants are matriarchal, meaning they live in female-led groups. The matriarch is usually the biggest and oldest. She presides over a multi-generational herd that includes other females, called cows, and their young. Adult males, called bulls, tend to roam on their own, sometimes forming smaller, more loosely associated all-male groups.
Having a baby elephant is a serious commitment. Elephants have a longer pregnancy than any other mammal - almost 22 months. Cows usually give birth to one calf every two to four years. At birth, elephants already weigh some 200 pounds and stand about three feet tall.
This beautiful scene of Elephants grazing in the early morning light with Mt. Kilimanjaro as the backdrop was photographed on a game drive in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
Het is een prachtige voorjaarsdag die er toe uitnodigt om erop uit te trekken. Dat kan per bromfiets of automobiel. Maar ook de lokaalspoortrein biedt een mogelijkheid. Wismar-bus T1 is zelfs van bagagerekken voorzien. Daarop kunnen niet alleen melkbussen of kratten geplaats worden maar ook de meename van het rijwiel is een optie. De sleufvormige steunen op de horizontale profielbalk bieden de fiets extra steun tijdens de holperige rit.
Hoewel er een bagagekaartje gekocht moet worden, kan er een keuze gemaakt worden om met de fiets bij tegenwind van de trein gebruik te maken. Tijdens de terugreis kan er met de wind in de rug en eventueel een vers getapt biertje achter de kiezen voldaan en zonder al te veel inspanning heimwaarts gekeerd worden.

Stage # 37 Beget >> Sant Ariol d'Aguja (2/4)
Ups and downs, there were two stronger ascents that put to the test our weary bodies, which were carrying 15 kg over nearly 40 days.
But the freshness of the forest heals us quickly. The forest, it's mushrooms, it's mosses, shadows and fountains... and so many birds singing...
In fact the forest sing for us as we go, a singing of many beings that lurk in the shadows. Will the trees themselves sing?
We are increasingly interning in the mild Mediterranean climate, the month of August is near and... we found the first blackberries, fruit that she loves!

Choquequirao es reconocida como la hermana de Machu Picchu. Ambos lugares tienen muchas similitudes. Sin embargo Choquequirao es uno de los asentamientos incas más remotos en los Andes del Perú. Y aún no son muchos los turistas los que la visitan.
