LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

North Dome, Yosemite: 'Get away from the edge!' "Yes, Mom."

'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. Our 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.

Iron Mountain sunrise following a sunset a few nights before.

Should you wish to achieve a 'high', try a mountain hike early in the morning, sweat a little, run a little
and take in some of nature's most attractive scenes. Iron Mountain continues, as do many others, to provide
consistent and beautiful sunrises and sunsets to view. Follow the outing with a shower and then one is flying...

We left home at 5:15am, hiked half-way up in the dark and reached the summit before sunrise although the
dawn light made the path clear thereafter. At a little after 8am on a Sunday morning, we were back at home and ready to
face the day. The amazing thing is: It's available to all to take and enjoy—a healthy start to the day.




Early morning before the peak of Iron Mountain.




A favorite, the scene one waits a long time to find.




Looking towards Coronado and Mexico.




Sun tips over horizon and creates an orange reflection on left.





Sun breaks over back mountains.




Sunrays fill the lens, turning the valley and mountains into beautiful shades.




Color our world, lift the spirits.




Sun spot on the banks of Mount Woodson.














Taking in one more before heading down.





Facing west towards the Pacific Ocean





The last sliver or two of this month as we commence at 5:35am.


Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
