Itinerary description
By Car- Drive from Mitzpe Ramon south. After 11km you’ll come to the left turn, with a sign for Beerot Campground and Ein Saharonim. Turn left and drive on the dirt road until you come to the Bedouin Campground. Make the first right turn possible after the campground and continue along the dirt road. At the fork turn left and follow the signs to “Ardon / Ramat Saharonim”. Park at the large gravel parking lot. (The drive takes about 40 minuets)
Start out on the blue trail at the Eastern edge of the parking lot. Follow it along a gradual climb on the wide ridge. After 2 km you will reach the black trail down in the dry river bed. Then turn left, North. Follow the black markers along the jeep road and enjoy the impressive exposure of layers on the right bank and the two Magmatic intrusions- Vertical blocks of Magmatic rock disrupting the horizontal layers.
Keep walking and look for the red trail branching to the right and follow it as it climbs out of the wadi and up to Harut hill. When you come to the bottom of the hill you can either climb the hill or simply follow the blue markers to the left (west) back to the wadi and to an acacia tree. After enjoying the shade, head on the black dirt road to the right (west) and up back to your car.
