Backpacking the French Alps

J, A and I went backpacking in Parc National des Ecrin, in the French Alps.  We would love to have you come join us on a similar trip sometime!  Let's get on the trail...

...and to camp, about an hour and a half later.

On the trail early next morning.

Amazing views from the trail.

Triple selfie.

Moving to the snow line.

At our destination - Lac de Vallonpierre, still below the snow and ice.

The refuge, looking across the lake.

View from the top.

Enjoying the plant life on the way down.

 And on the way back, new favorite waterfall, thanks to glacier melt-off.  A nice place to soak tired feet before the trip home.

FIN.
