LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Argentina: Laguna de Los Tres.

'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.

50.09 Utah: Red Pines Lake. A pretty and tough hike...aren't they all in Utah.


A strenuous hike in another beautiful region to reach a lake surrounded by towering mountains. The 7 mile round-trip to gain more than 2,200 feet over some rocky terrain proves once again the hidden and overt beauty of this region, within the greater Salt Lake City district. It's not easy to find an area which contains so much of everything within a relatively small locale. 

Tip-toe through the trees, shrubs and unknown.
On the way up, we play peek-a-boo with a mule deer.
 After a 3.5 mile ascent, we reach the lake.
 The surroundings are overpowering. They usually are.
 Same lake, different position.
 In the early stages, we look at Little Cottonwood Canyon Road.
 Moving through a quiet avenue.
 The streams delivering our life-blood, always comforting and fascinating.
Mom keeps an eye on us.
 Each day, we enjoy brunch in spectacular locations—truly a blessing.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
