LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

New Zealand: Tongariro Alpine Crossing: Ngauruhoe Volcano ("Mt. Doom"), a perfect sunrise.

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every couple of months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2023, the blog contained over 1,560 hikes (less than that actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

34.18 & 34.19: Utah: Snow Canyon: Cinder Cone and the Amphitheater across the way.


We took a couple of short hikes and once again were rewarded with the consistency of the southern part of the state—it's always attractive, colorful and provides joy and challenges wherever one visits. In this region, surprisingly, we came across past volcanic action although it occurred long before we were twinkles in our parents' eyes....maybe, even further back as we are not that old...depending upon whom you ask.



Flower and volcano power.




'Up, up and away' at the amphitheater.




Raw scenes of beauty.




Reminds us of a scene from the 'old days' of an open road. Nice backdrop, eh?




On the way down in a strong wind




Jen returns from a visit to the top and from out of the crater.




'Dormant' on a volcano, a more eloquent word than lazy.




A view from the top of the volcano




Jen returning faster than the flow of water.



Cheers,


Jenni and Jeffrey
