I was visiting friends and family on a trip to Israel. I took the opportunity to hike with Shimmy. We had wanted to do a longer hike, but the weather was rainy, so we waited to the end of the day and did a nice hike while it wasn't raining.

We parked at the Nachal Dolev reserve at the Twins (Hateumim) Cave and took the trail in the valley towards the cave. The cave was closed in the winter for bats so we weren't able to go in. We hiked a bit further and then turned around and then went back the same route.
