Itinerary description
A really fun trail - do it in may! It's the only month with water in Si'on stream, as snows melt from Mt. Hermon.
Start at guvta stream - there's place to leave a car here, and climb up to neve ativ and from there to the lower parking lot of the Hermon site. You can add a small climb to Mt. Snaim or add Mt. Kahal to your trail.
Don't sleep near the parking lot! The military base there has patrols and they will try to kick you put of the mountain. Find a smaller, hidden spot on the trail.
It is recommended though to get to the parking lot, because there's a water tap there if you'll need water.
The second day is amazing - tons of water flowing out of the rocks after you climb down to Si'on stream. It's FREEZING!
end the trip by climbing back to the parking lot, where you can hitch to you car or get a taxi.
