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.
O
ur 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.

56.04 Page, Arizona: Rim hike and appreciation of a region that touches us deeply. A salute to the great Navajo nation.

Before reaching the day's publication, these three shots struck me as standouts. They are taken a week later on a boulder hopping hike. 

The second is our interpretation of the concept of 'The Wave', heading to the pit. The third is 'hats off' to Jen as she moves into a precarious position. At times, she surprises me. 

'Morning has broken' in Page...anything but.



Our first view of Lake Powell which we call part of the river.

Rugged country leading up to the 'river'.
'Walkaway, please go', sang Matt Monroe.
'Dare one say that Jen has gone round the bend?'
Always impressed with Castle Rock.
More impressed with Tower Butte (aka 'Voortrekker Monument').
The Rim Trail gives a feeling at times of living on the edge.
A previous blog shows the ferry in the canyon. That's the entry point to Antelope Canyon by water.
Returning to the rim.
The following two photographs are taken from the same position but for facing the other way. They illustrate both the effect of light and changing formations. We sat in this position for brunch. 
In the last blog, we wrote about undulating land and that the eye missed much of the nature of it from distance. This is typical of land formations. Nothing is as flat as it seems when planning the route.
Perspective as Jen heads for the water.
The desert coloring is spectacular...but you've read that remark before.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
