Jeep Rides in the Golan Heights

We departed our kibbutz guest house precisely at 7:50 AM in five Land Rover jeeps (each sitting seven people), each headed up toward the Golan Heights. The day dawned a bit hazy but essentially without a cloud in the sky. The view of the Golan Heights from below was awesome, but the view from the top of the Heights looking down was even more impressive. The photos above show some of our group standing on top of a Syrian bunker emplacement that was evacuated during the Six-Day War, the view from the Golan Heights looking up toward Mt. Hermon, the jeeps we rode in, a view into the northern valley of Israel (called the Hula Valley), and some of the wildlife that exists on the Heights.
