Our travels in Cappadocia and Istanbul in spring 2023

Randi

We are wrapping-up a delightful month-long stay in Fethiye (pronounced feh·tee·euh), Türkiye; which is a Mediterranean coastal town popular for sailing, british expats, and hiking. Fethiye has history dating back to the 5th century BC and has been inhabited by ancient Lycians, Greeks, Persians, Byzantines, and Ottomans. All of whom have left successive remnants of their civilizations that can be explored throughout the area.

We got to see them move boats from a parking lot where they did dry repairs into the water

Great backpacking location right on the colorado Trail accessible from denver

Randi

the location. This hike is a difficult down then return uphill trek. The varied terrain, ranging from woods, aspens groves, canyons, and meadows make it well worth the journey.

Randi

A lovely hike with a fun group of friends. Both peaks are class 2, largely due to the steep grade and rock-steps at the summits

Randi

Tyler

Enjoyable as an overnite trip for sure

Tyler

La Plata, sub 10 mile fourteener with easy parking and a fair bit of elevation...

Packing lite can be hard, here is Randis 2017 list!

Randi

Mount of the Holy cross is a lovely 14er that can be done if you want to camp, or if you want to do it all in one go!

Tyler

A correction is always on the way. This is a reminder to myself to take advantage of good times!

Tyler

White ranch is an easy and accessible hike close to denver.

Tyler

Mt Bierstadt is one of the most accessible 14ers that exist, but expect the crowds that go along with it.

Tyler

North Table is a very accessible Denver hike!

Needs work
