Im gonna keep this one simple!
I summited Pic Carlit by 9am. Awesome views all around.
Passed by tons of people climbing up on the way down, Carlit is a very popular destination.
There was a trail that passes 13 pristine mountain lakes.
I came to the barrage of Lac Bouillouses, where I could barely breathe with all the tourists and buses and whatnot.
I kept on down the trail, which meandered around 4 foggy lakes.
There was a long dirt road hike towards the ski area of Bolquere, a resupply point.
I hiked up a red ski run to get a better view of the area.
I went down a blue ski run to resupply at the casino supermarket in Super Bolquere. Ahhhh OJ and fruits and all that good stuff.
Then I hike down to Bolquere, stopping at a beautiful tarn-side forest park just outside of town with tons of people picnicking, fishing, and playing around.
I walk through town and snap a selfie at the GR10 monument, which roughly shows the path and the mileage of the HRP trail!
There’s a good walk through a forested valley to the small hamlet of Eyne.
Finally, there’s a gorgeous trail that goes up the Vallon d’Eyne, where I camp at about 2,200m elevation on a grassy riverside.
Good night!
