On day two of my trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, we climbed up from Machame Hut to the Shira Plateau. We had climbed out of the clouded rain forest the day before, but it wasn’t until this point that it really felt like we were way above the clouds. I took this photo while we stopped for a short rest on the ridge that we were climbing. High above the clouds I could see the top of Mount Meru poking out above the clouds. From here it looks like it is below where I am standing, but the truth is that it was still a good 1000m above me at this altitude.
This is such a breath-taking scenery.. feels like you’re on the top of the world. I felt like I’ve accomplished a huge part of my life when I climbed Mount Elbert in Colorado, but this photo makes me feel so jealous. This is wow, big kudos to you! 🙂
Thanks Rachel. I really did feel like I was on top of the world
