The Great Outdoors - Hiking and so on…

@endo Wonderful pictures and I’m glad to see that you’re staying hydrated

@endo we may be going to Spain next summer for a friend’s wedding. This place looks incredible. May have to check it out!!

@Mizmazzle This place (Teneriffe) is incredible indeed, but also app. 2000 km away from Spain mainland. Unless your friend is not marrying here it will be another flight. In case you want to do some great hiking in Spain (mainland) check out Picos de Europa.

Day 4 on Tenerife and - you get it - hike #4. Since Mrs E turned out to be a little sluggard today and needed a beach day I went solo.

To be honest, I also felt a bit frazzled from yesterday’s tour, so I chose one with very little altitude difference.

Turned out to be very beautiful again. All along the tree line, amidst lava fields and small volcano cones, always the Teide visible in a distance.

And lots of lizzards.

@endo thanks for taking us along on these adventures! Beautiful pictures

@endo May I ask what app you use to record the data from your hikes? Would be something I’d like to try a bit more of now my daughter isn’t sitting down and refusing to move every 100 metres…

It‘s Komoot @DeeDee85. There are probably 100s on the market but I‘m using this for years and can only recommend it.

You bring memories alive @endo.
Back in 2005 we visited Tenerife as a part of our wedding travel.
These Montaña tours above the clouds, with view through sea level, are something else.
Thanks for sharing!

@endo thank you very much!

Day and hike #5. Something special today, tunnels and a pretty exposed trail along a steep face. But so beautiful again. I‘ve fallen in love with this island.

damn @endo why didn’t i look into this thread BEFORE our vacation? Looks like i was not the only walking IH ad on Tenerife last week. we even did the same hike on Tuesday (Chinyero?) could have shared a beer haha. now what are the chances of that? i’ll take it as a lesson to look here more frequently

anyways, we had a phenomenal time and here are some additions to the already great „endos finest Tenerife hiking selection“
I have to split this into two posts I guess.

Day 1 (Anaga Mountains)
Hike from Taganana to Playa de Benijo
drove back to the car by bus

Day 2 (Teide national park)
Mt. Guajara
This was one of our absolute favorites, beautiful view on Mt Teide

Plus a little stroll around the Roques de Garcia with stunning evening light

Day 3 (South)
Barranco del Infierno
„Skippable“ (good views but very touristy and hot)
didn’t take many photos but this little friend is worthy to share

Day 4 (Teide national park)
Two shorter hikes in the Teide region

Hike 1 (can’t recall which one it was, will add later)
beautiful view on Teide and quite relaxed with few height meters

Hike 2 Round walk at Roques de Garcia, short but absolutely recommended, best with afternoon light

Day 5 (Anaga Mountains)
Round walk from Chamorga to Faro de Anaga (most northern part of the island)
my personal favorite!

@weftyarn like to IH ships passing in the night…

That’s really crazy @weftyarn such a shame we didn’t meet on a beer.

Denver / Front Range got hit with a good 2’-4’ snow storm this week. Took Carl out for some freshies today!
