Henro Day 6- Temple 20-22

​On day 6 of walking, We covered 17.11 miles with 4529’ of elevation gain.  Upon arriving at the top of Temple 21, we saw there was a cable car coming up from the other side.  As an option, although it increased the distance for the day, we opted to ride the cable car down and then hike around to catch back up with our path.  The experience was amazing and views were spectacular.




All along the way, they have funky shelters for the pilgrims to rest along the way.  





The gardens and areas around the temple are so well kept.  I wish the pictures did a better job showing how beautiful they really are.





I almost stepped on this guy along the trail today.  He didn’t seemed bothered by me one bit.





Yong is actually a Chinese Pilgrim.  We bonded over Da Shu’  (The Big Tree)



Our host and crew as we started our day.  Tom decided to scale his distance back with the amount of elevation gain for the day.
