LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Tenerife: Sunbeams filter through the forest.

'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 three, or slightly less, 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 2024, the blog contained over 1,636 hikes (far less than 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.

Sunrise, Sunset in various parts of the world: A few photographs that not only pleased the eye but went much deeper--the scenes resonated within our souls.

Keurboomsstrand, South Africa.
Jen beats the sun at 'Angel of Fire' State Park in Nevada.
Senj, Croatia.
Las Vegas Strip highlighted, viewed from Red Mountain, Boulder City, Nevada, at dawn.

This view of the Drakensberg Range reached from Sani Pass, Lesotho, via the 'famous chain-ladders' (near Witsieshoek) but only after the sun appears.
Setting sun spotlights Jenni at Kelso Dunes, California, returning from 'fun and games' on the ridge.
The Annapurna Range, part of the Himalayas, Nepal, lit at sunrise. Below the clouds is Begnas Lake and two witnesses with 'open-mouths'.
Sunrise on the water at Water Canyon, Utah.
On the Otter Coastal Trail in South Africa, we witness the sun's cascading rays flowing over and through the clouds.
We reached Kenmo Lake in Himeville, Kwa Zulu-Natal, before sunrise and waited patiently for this autumn scene.
Near Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, we watch the setting sun, in awe.
At Sani Pass, a turbulent sunset confronts us.
Sunrise in Las Vegas from the Frenchman Mountain.
Sunset on Oahu, Hawaii.
Piute Pass in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, we enter a trail at 4:15 am. More than an hour later, the sun reveals our destination.
Hawaii presents us with a further treat.
Pradollano, Spain.
San Diego Iron Mountain sequence...next three.
Lake Mead just before nightfall.
The Drakensberg well-lit following sunrise...we were too slow to reach it in time.
Rattlesnake Trail, Cedar Breaks Park (not Bryce), Utah as sun gives last of its morning glory.
Machapuchare, part of the Annapurna Range, Nepal, at sunset.
Lake Mead, Boulder City, Nevada, late afternoon returning from Lava Butte peak.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
