Day Hikes: Carmel Mountains - Yagur to Nahal Me’arot Day Hikes: Nahal Me'arot to Caesarea Day Hikes: Caesarea to Tel Aviv Leg 6: Tel Aviv to Ben Shemen Forest Leg 7: Ben Shemen to the Jerusalem Trail We are walking the Israel Trail in segments of 2 to 4 days, with occasional longer hikes, because we are not free enough to be able to leave our family and other responsibilities for the amount of time it wound take to hike the Israel Trail in one go. However, I want it to be clear when I've finished that I walked every step of the way so I found a small stone up in the Golan where we began the first leg of our hike on May 12th 2009. I plan to carry this rock from the Golan to Eilat. Every time we begin a new segment we’ll start by finding the rock and when we finish a segment we’ll hide it at the place we leave the trail.
Getting There: Part of the challenge of hiking in segements is planning where to get on and off the trail. The Egged Bus company has vastly improved their web site. You can now easily find the schedule of every Egged bus route in The train system in Israel is also growing and improving. The trains don't go to every little town, however, they are sometimes much faster and have good connections with the buses. We are hiking the trail with our Dog. The Israeli trains and Egged buses allow dogs as long as they have a muzzle. On the buses you have to pay halffare for your dog.
