Taoyuan Valley (桃源谷) 15KM hike ...

Love these little guys although it didn't seem to love the idea of me following it with camera in hand

Not a sole at the rest stop in the blazing hot sun — where's the next pavilion? 

4.0KM and happy to almost be done the uphill hike ... or not ... another 5KM begins

Eyes that dare us to inch closer to the little ones — he froze until we moved and then followed suit
