Hiking Through Israel Archives - Hiking the Holyland

We took in the incredible views: hills and valleys of purple, red, and yellow, a crazy cloud filled sky spread out above a vast canyon.

Nahal Tekoa – Valley of Monks and Kings

All of the crumbling walls and precariously perched stone remnants made us think about what this valley was like throughout history.

After a few steady ascents, we found ourselves facing an open area surrounded by towering hills of rock.

By the time we reached the turning point down into the valley, the sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon.

With a bus ticket and a backpack in hand, you’ll have everything you need to get out into nature.
