The Roof of Africa

How about a trail view to the "roof of Africa" to brighten your Thursday? Mt Kilimanjaro stands 19,341' above sea level and is one of the famed "7 summits." Despite its intimidating appearance, this dormant stratovolcano is not a technical climb and can be scaled by a hiker in good shape. Part of this amazing African experience is moving through many different biomes on the way to the top. The hike begins in sweltering rainforest but ends in an alpine zone. Lesson? Bring your woolies, but wait to put them on!
