The Mystical and Virgin Meron

The Mystical and Virgin Meron

I was especially excited about this hiking segment on the Israel Trail since I had never before explored Mount Meron. Neither hiking, nor jeeping, nor orienteering had ever brought me here. It was all going to be completely new to me. Tia declared it my “virgin ground.” Before we set off, our guide Avi gave us good advice on climbing, pacing, taking breaks (“don’t sit down!”), and eating (“don’t eat your sandwich!”), to help us reach the summit of the Meron.
