Tara Canyon
... the other side.
We then continued our hike upwards towards another viewpoint. After about another 5 minutes we were welcomed with the most astonishing breathtaking sight. Standing on the lip of a cliff 1300m above the valley floor I felt on top of the world! Looking deep into the gorge you could see the bright blue colour of the Tara River as it snaked its way between these towering magnificent mountains. Literally in every direction you looked in ...
