Jessie on a Journey
An athletic person is rock climbing in a stunning desert landscape, with towering sandstone cliffs and striking red rock formations surrounding them. They are wearing a red tank top and gray shorts, with one leg stretched upwards as they grip the craggy cliff face, showcasing impressive flexibility and rock-climbing skills. The vast, arid terrain stretches out below, with rugged buttes and mesas dotting the horizon. The scene exudes a sense of adventure and natural beauty, offering a breathtaking view of the desert's raw and majestic grandeur.

Rock Climbing at Timna Park's Ancient Copper Mines

Timna Park reminds me of a mix of Sedona, with its otherworldly red rock sandstone formations. Encompassing over 23 square miles and surrounded on three sides by cliffs, the park is one of the worldā€™s oldest copper mines, over 6,000 years old. Interestingly, where Timna Park resides was once an enormous Egyptian copper mining enterprise, and today you can see copper demonstrations and learn about the history throughout the park. Here I am above Hathor's Temple, an Egyptian temple built during 14th century BCE for the Egyptian miners. Thanks @travelbreak @stephbetravel for taking the photo :)
