Region: Jerusalem Area
Loop Trail to the Beit Zayit Dam
It was silent by the lake, empty except for a few birds and butterflies.

Sansan Ridge Trail to Sansan Ruins
Our path took us above a valley, rich and green after the mid-autumn rains.

The sky, still dramatically dappled with grey clouds, hung over green fields that seemed to stretch on forever.
