Most of Galilee consists of rocky terrain, at heights of between 500 and 700 meters. There are several high [[mountains]] including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Tabor Mount Tabor] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Meron Mount Meron] in the region, which have relatively low temperatures and high rainfall. As a result of this [[climate]], flora and wildlife thrive in the region, while many birds annually migrate from colder climates to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa] and back through the Hula–Jordan corridor. The [[streams]] and waterfalls, the latter mainly in Upper Galilee, along with vast fields of greenery and colorful wildflowers, as well as numerous towns of biblical importance, make the region a popular tourist destination.

Due to its high rainfall (900–1200 mm), mild temperatures and high [[mountains]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Meron Mount Meron]'s elevation is 1,000–1,208 meters), the upper Galilee region contains some [[unique]] flora and fauna : prickly juniper ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_oxycedrus Juniperus oxycedrus]), Lebanese cedar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedrus_libani Cedrus libani]), which grows in a small grove on Mount Meron, cyclamens, paeonias and Rhododendron ponticum which sometimes appears on Meron.
