It has been a week already since we were offering our "Boot Camp", Hiking and Fitness, Vitality boosting Program in Baja Mexico. I'm missing the warm hospitality of the staff at Rancho La Puerta, the spring flowers and bird song, the delicious herbs and veges from the organic gardens, and the wind sculptured rock forms lining the trails to Mt. Kuchuma. I'm also missing the new friends and veterans that joined Jeff and I over our 3 week pilot at the Ranch.

Mountain Trek in Mexico..... oh-so-nice! I don't know where to start, or even harder, where to stop in my ravings of Mountain Trek at the Ranch:)

Kirk here. I've been hiking in the Chaparral country of Baja California which is the area surrounding Ranch La Puerta, the next base camp of MT. In all my guiding and hiking experiences, I find this area uniquely spectacular. My senses have been stimulated ... seeing eon eroded boulder sculptures, touching and feeling the yucca and eucalyptus plants, listening to the beckoning birdsong while I hike and enjoying the feel of a cool breeze. This is nice.
