Walk to Rivendell

Tour by Ranger Jewel

164-169 Miles

We're leaving the beautiful wooded hills of Chetwood behind us. We have to hike steadily downward from those hills into lower and much flatter land.

Though the landscape is flat, our going is getting a bit more difficult. This part of Eriador is brushy and rocky. Not many people are familiar with this remote part of Middle Earth. We'll have to be careful to follow the path Strider chose when he led the hobbits this way.
