Words can’t express how awesome today was. I will let the photos and captions do most of the storytelling today.
I woke up at the Auberge Refuge at Col du Somport, had their breakfast, and hit the road. It looked like it was going to be another dreary foggy day. Bluh.
I met another HRP thru-hiker from Germany, named Sylvia! We camped right near each other at the Lac d’Arrious, in preparation to get up and over two high cols that may present some challenges with ice, snow, cliffs, and scree.
That means so far, I have met HRP hikers from: Holland, Scotland, New Zealand, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, the Canary Islands, USA (just me unfortunately!)
