Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What country will I be visiting when I hike the length of the Tiger Leaping Gorge situated on the Jinsha River?

Answer: China

 There are two trails for trekkers to take, each with different views. The high road is used by the native Naxi folk, but there are guesthouses for trekkers.

Where the roads meet, trekkers from both trails can get close to the Tiger Leaping Stone, where the tiger is said to have leaped.
2. The next hike will be through the Fish River Canyon. We'll be spending about a week trekking and then lounging at the end point, Ai Ais. Which of these countries will we be visiting?

Answer: Namibia

 This trek requires a permit prior to arrival, and a certificate of health by a doctor. Due to weather and intermittent flooding, the trail is only open from May 1 to September 15.

As usual, trekkers should plan their trip carefully, though there are campgrounds at one end, and a resort town at the other, the actual trek can be quite difficult depending on the trails selected.
3. Situated in a Navajo Tribal Park, Antelope Canyon will be my next trek. To which of these states will I need to take my camera for some photographic souvenirs?
