Yatir Forest – A Desert Woodland
This week, on a foggy and cold day, a space in my heart opened up for Yatir Forest. I decided it was time for a visit.
Ein Avdat One Way Trail
Little streams trickle between large, flat rocks. A palpable silence fills the space inside the canyon.
Nahal Zanoah to Ein Mata
We found a gorgeous, easy walk through nature with an awesome olive grove, a spring, ancient ruins, and a weirdly cool palm tree forest.
Nahal Tekoa and the Haritoun Cave
At the Haritoun Cave Trail in Nahal Tekoa, we escaped from the noise of everyday life and discovered a cross between a playground and a monastery. Between the uniquely beautiful scenery and fun rock formations, this little trail is well worth exploring.
