LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

San Ramon: At first, I thought it needed explanation. Not true. Top Left: "You're kidding me. After hiking 4 miles from the base below, you still want to climb up there...and snakes...?" The stance revealed it all. The rest is self-explanatory, too. (Not part of the formal trail either).

'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.

Mostly Peak Pictorials, Part 2.


We should now be in Nepal. We decided to post a few blogs of some highlights, automatically (2-week intervals). We don't think we'll post any current/local photographs until our return.


'More than a leap of faith'. At least 'one of us' made it to Pic del Veleta, Spain's second highest.




Iguazu Falls, Argentina, alongside Brazil. Raw power at the Devil's Bowl.




A view from Wheeler Peak, New Mexico.




Sun lights Fitz Roy Peak and 'friends' at dawn, Argentina. Cerro Torre on the left is special.

Standing on Koprovsky Peak, Slovakia...an amazing experience, destination.

The Narrows : Zion National Park, Utah: ... when we were young and irresponsible. Now we are older and mature...at last.




It's not the rapids causing the expression but rather, the freezing water reaching parts too private to mention.
