Lazarow World-Hike-About

 As we reach the completion of another year and find the years seem to pass quicker than the days, we've identified a few shots that appear to be a reasonable sample of some of our activities throughout the year. Other than two trips to South Africa, one in which we did not hike, the last two years have been based in the United States. As Galen Rowell, a famous photographer and hiker/climber once stated, "Should I never have left the Sierra Nevada (USA), it would have been sufficient."    We have discovered, because we are ' particularly smart ', that the United States is a very large country, filled with natural beauty and Jenni. (Bet you did not know that.)    We completed in excess of 160 hikes this past year, covered well over 1,000 miles in distance and gained elevation of approximately 55 miles. Perhaps best of all, each occasion was both an adventure and discovery, even for the repeats.    Pictures from hikes, over at least 16 weeks, in ...

The beauty of the early morning, anywhere in the world. Turn to Page. We took a kayak to reach the trailhead from which point we walked in the canyon. The day before, we hiked above the canyon looking down at the water. The contrast was obvious, both experiences were superb. The kayaking, for amateurs such as ourselves, takes just under an hour each way. It's a grind but the sights are fantastic and once arriving at the lake/river end, gets even better. It's an incredible experience that takes, as all good things do, much effort while draining the muscles of their strength. It's something we feel we should do on each trip to Page.  A major reason for the hike. Just arrived.     In the beginning, all looks well. At the proverbial coal-face. Above the water, the previous day. Jen on the previous day: Much drier except for the sweat. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey
