Welcome to Fan Shan Yue Ling

This blog is where I will share pictures from the many hikes I take, in Arizona, where we spend the winters, and elsewhere. I will no doubt also use this space to document my bicycle touring adventures. 

 Fanshanyueling (翻山越岭 fānshānyuèlǐng) is a Chinese phrase meaning to tramp over hill and dale. This perfectly describes my casual approach to hiking as well as bicycling. The other reason  for these excursions into the mountains and hills, beyond the tramping, is to take pictures. So this blog will be mostly about the photographs.
