How interesting to hear about the traditions of pilgrimage. First time I hear about this mountain. Pretty cool those folks climb the mountain barefoot. Tip to the hat.

So great that you were able to get some travel in when the country opened up for a bit. Too bad the weather was not better for your visit for your Croagh Patrick hike. The clouds do make for interesting views though. I like the tradition of walking barefoot but know I would not make it anywhere without good hiking boots.

What a great hike! Learned so much- especially that St. Patrick drove out snakes here- my very favorite Saint 😀 Have to get to Ireland this year!

Hiking barefoot?! One word: outch! Other than that, this looks like a stunning walk with some lovely views. It seems like a bit of a tough one though! Definitely not one to underestimate.

What a hike! The view at the top is still stunning even with the fog. I used to hike a lot in Colorado. Need to find some places in Mexico. Your choice of a steak sandwich and additional french fry carbs is the perfect meal after an arduous climb!

The views over the Croagh Patrick hike trail are majestic and worth the climb. Although I can’t believe anyone would climb it with bare feet. Good job you got proof. Good journalism!

I am fascinated by the tradition of this hike!! And barefoot?! Beautiful views and the experience sounds like it was definitely worth it. Oh, that sculpture is crazy but cool!
