Hiking the Julian Alps

We hiked 8.5 miles through the alps in Slovenia and had a spectacular day.

Goat Lake and Jordan Basin

It was our last day and I pushed through the pain in my feet to keep going.

See that? No, you don’t, because of the smoke.

On our second day we continued to climb in elevation and into the heart of the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

The trailhead is at about 4000 feet elevation and we climbed about 1700 feet that day in only 4.5 miles.

There is a small and fascinating park in the northernmost part of California dedicated to learning about and exploring a volcanic landscape.

I am hugely grateful to be 51 and happily climbing mountains.

The Trail of Ten Falls has more waterfalls per square mile than any trail I think I’ve ever been on.

One way to find fun at the end of a cold, wet, sad, December is to go for a hike.
