On December 28, 2008, I decided to hike a portion of the Lebanon Mountain Trail (
http://www.lebanontrail.org) located between Ehden and Qannoubine, passing through the Qadisha Valley, a World Heritage Site famous for its historic monasteries. However, because I could not find the trailhead, I instead ventured out on a driving tour of the Tannourine area, Becherre, the Cedars, and all the beautiful villages in between. Although I didn't hike, it was an amazing day thanks to the picturesque villages, spectacular mountains, and the Khalil Gibran monuments in Becherre.
The hiker in me was growing more anxious by the minute gazing at these towering peaks! Tannourine Fawqa is the village you see at the base.
