Nahal Bokek
We found Nahal Bokek, where we tramped through a river, waded in a waterfall pool, and discovered a great family trail that we never knew existed.
Dodim Cave and Ein Gedi Spring
The trail led down, and then up, through a labyrinth of alabaster stone.
Nahal David at the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve
Past the rocks, Nahal David streamed past in a gentle trickle at our feet. And still further, large rocks were strewn haphazardly, forming a little den of cool water in the shade.
Mount Yishai and the Window Waterfall
Only in Israel can I drive about an hour from my home on a forested mountain and stumble upon a landscape like this. This hike around Mount Yishai was an incredible journey through quintessentially exotic Israeli scenery.
