Desert season is here, and it’s time to challenge ourselves with some serious trails!
On this hike we will traverse the mighty canyon of Hatira, descending down from the Yamin waterholes via the ancient Yamin ascent explore the deep canyon of Hatira and climb up using the legendary Palmach ascent using series of ladders, hand rails, and cables this part of the canyon was considered impassable before the 1944 journey of the Palmach, known from then on as Naqb el Yahood (the trail of the Jews), from there we will hike to Ein Yorke’am pools, and depending on our time may climb steeply to the Big Fin on the crest of the large crater, finally descending to the colored sandstone rocks of the large crater.
Transportation from and back to Tel Aviv and Rehovot.
