Mines and Pines hike
We went out to Changping for this hike. It was super hot, and we had to use our choppers to make a path through thick brush along the trail. Tough work, but the cold drinks sure tasted great after we'd finished.
The road past the mines at the start of the hike.
Along the way we found wild apricots and mulberries.
The donkey had a nice spot under a tree.
Cheers!
Switchback Great Wall hike
A hot day up on the Great Wall with plenty of climbing and excellent views.
