LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

The Grandest Canyon of them all, Arizona...the third of a group of 3 positions.

'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 2025, the blog contained over 1,800 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.

65.21: Call back the past: A delightful visit to Argentine.

  I suppose we can be accused of calling all trips and experiences memorable. Therefore, I won't use those words now, but you can imply whatever appears to be appropriate or makes sense. Here are a few photographs which give a taste of the natural wonders of this beautiful country, particularly the early morning mountain scenes and the abundance of flowing water and lakes. Rather than allow these photographs to accumulate moisture in the clouds, we bring them down to earth as a reminder of how fortunate we all are. 

  As an aside, it struck me that our time in the country felt similar to traveling in Europe. I often had to remind myself where we were and that it was not Europe.  

It's hard to beat this sunrise scene at Mount Fitzroy.
The water flows at Iguazu Falls, staggering.
It's almost illusionary as the sights of the same objects seem to vary so much when one changes view positions. I was always taken in by this mountain scene, the top looks like a cat's head from the rear...an opinion.
Jen takes the gap and the mountain scene confronts her.
We took a shuttle to a nearby town and walked back along a trail through and over the mountains. Next time, we should take the shuttle back.
From the peak above, Jen makes her way down through the magnificent, colorful region.
This mountain had my interest during the whole period of the visit to El Chalten. (Cat's head.) 
  Iguazu Falls is a wonder of the world.
A quiet spot tucked away in the mountains providing serenity and reflections.
A function of the time of day...early.
The only desert region we came across over the period. 
  Then ice baths to enjoy after a strenuous hike.
One foot at a time, placed carefully and it's a 'piece of cake'...perhaps cake is incorrect in this context. 
The team got together to provide us a quick 'shot' before they separated again.
A tough day on a rugged hike, Loma Tumbado.
The next two-color variations are totally dependent on the sun's position.
Early morning sun to redden the rocks. 
On the outskirts of San Carlos de Bariloche, our base for the visit.
Let the water flow. To the left of the falls is Brazil, talking of a small world with massive countries.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
