Earthquake devistation on the trail

Huge mountain slides rearranged the landscape, sending us scampering around boulders, trees, rivers and across makeshift bridges. Pictures cannot begin to show the magnitude of the mountains releasing their long time hold on tons of rock, earth and sludge

  
Nor can the view of tiny bridges describe the anticipation and engagement of trekkers as reality sets in and eagerness takes hold.



Everywhere, sherpas are working on clearing, rebuilding and redesigning trails, crossings and housing.



Regardless of the work, simple brides capture and engage the attention of trekkers.


…and steep slides–ending at the river's edge–will linger in the souls of those passing on.
