Into the Gorge

We finally planned a day off the bikes to hike down into the Gorges du Verdun. We followed the Blanc-Martel trail down to the river, then hiked downstream partway along the Imbut Trail. The water was low as the upstream dams were closed, but the iridescent blue of the river against the white canyon walls was beautiful. Claire was super stoked to hike and managed about 7 or 8 km before taking a break and a nap in Karl's backpack for part of the way back up to the hut. We celebrated our arrival with ice cream and cold drinks before having dinner at the hut with a full house of hikers. It was a beautiful and relaxed day in a stunning location!Read more
