My last hiking trip. 🏞️💚

Rappbodetalsperre, Harz mountains, Germany

Beautiful weather, I felt truly blessed.

Still looking for another dress for hiking, but don't seem to find anything.

Any advice where I can find an inexpensive simple short cotton dress?

Mobile App Tips for Adventure Hiking Trails

Adventure Hiking Trails may parallel roads in some cases. The Adventure Trail Paths are shown in ORANGE.

“This map and directions are intended for general reference use only.  Always check local road and weather conditions. Stay on designated roads.  Dirt roads are impassable when wet. Please respect Private Property. Be prepared for a wilderness experience: Always bring extra water, food, sunscreen, and supplies. Do not remove artifacts or deface the ‘rock art’.  Leave no trace of your visit so others may enjoy.”

Cell phone service is non-existent in most areas.  Essential information is available offline for the Adventure Trails and Outdoor Recreational Opportunities on this app. In areas without cellular service map tiles may not be displayed.  You can go to "Settings" and toggle on topographic maps to assist with navigation.

Safety:  Enjoy your trip –by being prepared.  Due to cell phone battery limitations, we always advise visitors to bring charging cords or battery packs and have access to hard copy maps as a backup.   

About Adventure Trail Featured Paths & Content:   The Kane County Commission invites you to use the Kanab Trails App.  You can plan your excursions and follow the route on your mobile device while on location.

These trails are meant to serve as guides for your Kane County Adventure with both map and satellite view options.  Each Adventure Trail is its own category that lists the trail path(s) its trailhead and destination. Some Trails show highway access points.   If you have downloaded the app to your device and then enter an area with no cell coverage, the essential paths, and points of interest are still available offline.

Adventure Hiking Trail Experience:  Many of the Adventure Trails follow roads for a portion of the way.  You will see which type of road is running alongside, and when the road ends the hiking routes begins.

Greatest trip ever 💚🏞️

But...

I had a blast yesterday with 23 km in the mountains standing on cliffs and ridges more than 900 m high. It was said to be cloudy so befor I thought of different routes because visiting 15 cliffs in the clouds didn't seem as much fun, but when I reached my destination it was sunny and clear.

Didn't make my 31 km because of

a) strong stormy winds which didn't stop me from climbing the cliffs though

b) really adventurous and steep single trails (mud, roots, water, rocks, ticks)

c) the time

But it was worth it! I'm black and blue, scratched bloody and sore, but I loved every second of it. 🏞️ I can't wait for my next trip.

PS: in my selfie even I can see I lost weight although the scale says nope 😅

From my last hiking trip 🏞️💚

For some reason I don't hate this foto 🤔

so I will share it 🤗

I'd love to hike with some of you one day...

Hiking trip 😍💚🏞️

[shrinking-but-shining]

Today's hiking trip. Great weather, about 0°C. Wonderful views. 🏞️☀️💚

[shrinking-but-shining]

Hiking trip today 😍💚🏞️

Feel like coming home

[shrinking-but-shining]

Because you asked, the app I use for hiking is komoot, which helps me plan my routes and also track distance, hight and speed...

Hiking today was lovely with a sad finish.

Found a weak buzzard and brought him to the wildlife Center, but he didn’t make it.

The vet told us he was far too light. He was probably hit by a car and couldn’t hunt anymore.

Buzzards are endangered so I hoped they could have done something, but she said with so little weight he wouldn’t have made it even if we had found him yesterday.

Still a shame.
