We wrapped up our work in Gulu last week so Sheryl and I headed to the mountains in the West and took a 4 day hiking and camping trip. The maintain range is supposed to be great technical hiking (it takes 7 days to reach the peak and there's snow at the top) but Sheryl and I were less ambitious and hiked around the much warmer crater lakes instead. The series of 16 lakes were formed by collapsed volcanoes and fill from underground. Our guide claimed they're so deep that no one knows how deep they are but we're skeptical.
In addition to the lakes, on the hike we went to hot springs that were packed with locals after church (we were shocked by the women's toplessness, they were scandalized by our swim suit bottoms), a waterfall, tea / banana / corn / vanilla plantations, and a forest reserve.
