Hike through Judea

I went on this 2 day, 1 night hiking trip. We hiked 28 kilometers along the Israel National Trail, the full trail goes all the way from the top to bottom of the country. Hiking the entire trail takes about 1.5 months. The hike I was on was kind of historical. Along the trail were remnants of Roman roads and grape presses. The guide, who was not religious, told us bible verses that accurately described the area, he said the bible works as a historical book. Proof the bible was written by man? We also went into these caves that people had stayed in during the Bar Kochba revolt a thousand+ yrs ago. Overall, I was most impressed by how green this area was. Parts definitely felt like western United States and a little northern California.
