Below are pictures from our time in Taroko Gorge National Park and on the east coast of Taiwan. For further explanation, see the previous post, sans pictures.
The entrance to Taroko National Park. The roads were very narrow and in most places only one lane. Which made it interesting when huge buses full of tourists had to get by each other. Complicated by the pretty constant debris from falling rocks...made for an exciting drive into the gorge.
Typical trail picture. About to hit the Baiyang Trail to a sweet waterfall. The trail ran through a series of long and very dark tunnels.
Mountains! Weee! This was the road down to the tiny town from our hostel.
We instantly made a frisbee friend and threw with him and his family outside in their driveway, which they lit with a floodlight.
The incredible family that ran a homestay. They gave us dinner, mangoes from their tree, and hooked us up with a local man who had a room to rent since they were full.
Mike and I took a break on the trail to go swimming in the river. It was a very nice break from the heat and we didn't have to worry about crocs this time.
The huge multi-tiered water fall at the end of the Baiyang Trail. It was beautiful.
A view of the coast from our train window.
Lunch on the train. Cold noodles with a really yummy peanut sauce. This was the day that I finally got my appetite back from being sick. Mike, unfortunately, was still feeling really badly.
In case you can't see her shirt, it's a LoneStar shirt! She had no idea what Lonestar was.
Yet another beautiful waterfall on the Baiyang Trail.
A night market in Taipei our last night there. Lots of people, colors, and unidentifiable meats.
