Lazarow World-Hike-About

We've had two big hikes in three days , each coincidentally 22 kilometers long plus a much shorter one in between. For us, that's a big number. Our bodies confirm what our minds are thinking. One of the issues we have with Argentinian trail-builders,(and they build and maintain superb tracks) are the distances. Their day hikes, many are really part of treks between refugios and camp sites, making them overnights, are long. We understand to shorten them, it would be impossible to have the trailheads moved closer to their destinations because one can't drive up a mountain path. Perhaps then, we might suggest they try to move the mountains closer to the trailheads. We believe that's a fair suggestion and look forward to our next trip, but only after implementation. By the way, there's another issue. Distances are calculated from the park signboard—fair enough. However, trails begin at the carpark. Therefore, one still has to reach the park boundary followed by more ...

Taking another break from Argentina, we try finishing up our Utah travels. The state of multi-colored rocks, mountains and shapes. The icon on the right looks like a famous 'Mother and Son'. Multi-layers and mountains. A close-up. The beauty of nature is that each person has his/her own perception of objects. Of course, the beauty is not the fellow in red-and-blue. Looks like a natural fortress. Taking a leap of faith. Some shots from Snow Canyon State Park. Terrific scene with color contrasts in semi-desert. Is it possible Jenni found herself on the beach? Taking a break after returning through the gorge which ends 'in the distance'. We suppose exploring the great outdoors may be apt as Jenni seeks direction. We saw more volcanic remnants than ever before in the state. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey
