The trail crosses slickrock slabs of the high desert, a scene of pinyon pine and juniper, prickly peark, and yucca. Here the only plants and animals that thrive, like lizzards and bighorn sheep, have adapted to hot and dry.The hike is also an exercise in scale.

Truthfully, we weren't too impressed with this hike, but that might have had to do with the circumstances of the day.  It was hot with no clouds in sight, and virtually no shade, except for a couple of small groves of oak trees.  We had our dog Flora with us and she was wanting to stop to rest at every small shady spot she could find.

A ride through the bike path between Vila Franca de Xira and Alhandra.

Stop at the Voltar ao Cais restaurant. Apparently it is very good. The terrace, where we rested a while, is quite nice.

Welcome. As you walk this trail, this leaflet will help you to understand the relationships between rocks, weather, soil, plants and animals – and how those elements are working together to make Cedar Breaks so special. While you are hiking you will join in this ecosystem and become a part of the inter-relationships we will explore in this brochure.

Corpus Christi holiday in Portugal. The weather glorious and perfect for a ride. Pastéis de Belém, books, and a nice lunch. All days should be like this. And the Jacarandás, of course.

The Pastéis de Belém, of course. And the Hieronymites Monastery. Don't miss them.

sehr abwechslungsreiche Wanderung, zuerst noch etwas laut und an einer Stelle über stark befahrene Strasse. Dann aber wirklich schön durch Wahner Heide mit Kiefernwäldern und zum Schluss ein netter Kinderspielplatz. Bei schlechterem Wetter Bilderbuchmuseum.

A trip from the Netherlands to the famous Santiago de Compostela by bike, gps-track and pictures.

Po raz pierwszy na Kaszebe Rundzie wersja 65 i wrażenia bardzo pozytywne :)

W sobotę rano wyjazd firmowym busem do Kościerzyny razem z Marcinem i Izą. Nawet bez żadnych opóźnień czasowych i nawet dobrze mi się nim jechało, a pierwszy raz prowadziłem tak duży samochód.

We started going on hikes in July 2011 (and discovered EveryTrail) to get in shape for a trip to Peru including a 4 day hike on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.  40 hikes later we finally did it!I tracked each day with my Garmin 450 and then merged the 4 gpx tracks into this one.
