Routendetails

Beautiful views of the Upper Galilee, bordering Lebanon with amazing views also to @photo[ Mount Hermon ](6601355) bordering with Syria.  The route starts in the @poi[Gome](13559554) Junction, where there is a gas station and a small shopping mall.  There is plenty of parking space, a convenience store and restrooms. This is a favorite starting point for many rides in the area.  This route should satisfy your climbing needs.  It is not very long in mileage, so you should be able to complete it in less than four hour moving time.

The route is a simple loop, with a climb back to the Menara Cliff to complete your climbing goals.

# Notes

* Like most rides in Israel, you should avoid doing this ride on hot days.
* Enjoy the Benaya lookout in Misgav Am and you can enter the Kibbutz for a tour inside.
* You may also enjoy the Menara Cliff facility where there is a cable car that takes you to Kiryat Shmona.
* There is a lot of climbing but no section is overly steep.  However, you must be prepared for doing over 1700 meters of climbing.
* Water, food, and other services are available in the Gome and Koach junctions, as well as in Kiryat Shmona.
