The trail goes up a mountain, through a valley with a stream and many waterfalls, then back down the mountain. The weather was a bit humid, so we all got pretty sweaty. But the walk was great, the scenery was beautiful as usual, and there were not many people on the trail.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_781\" style=\"width: 458px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-781\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-781\" title=\"walk01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.denniehoopingarner.com\/taiwanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/walk01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.denniehoopingarner.com\/taiwanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/walk01.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.denniehoopingarner.com\/taiwanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/walk01-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The head of the trail.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_781\" style=\"width: 458px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-781\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-781\" title=\"walk01\" src=\"http:\/\/www.denniehoopingarner.com\/taiwanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/walk02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not far into the walk, we started going uphill.
