Yes, I (Gary) am doing another winter walk. I fly out of Phoenix in a few days, on December 31, 2025 and fly to Pamplona, connecting through Charlotte, NC and Madrid. The link below is my recap page for this walk. I will publish new entries every few days like previous walks. I will send out notices as well so you can follow along. I always appreciate feedback and questions. It gives me new ideas to include in my entries.

Camino 2026

This is my final post of this trip. I fly home from Zurich tomorrow morning. This trip did not go as planned, but I really enjoyed the journey. I have no problem when things change and you just figure things out as you go along.

Zurich

I arrived in Zermatt today. I will be here tomorrow, then am off to Zurich and home. It has been 3 great days since I last posted, so figured I would go ahead and post today. As always, thanks for following along. I understand several of you are having problems commenting. I wish I knew what the problem was.

Zermatt

The scenery continues to be amazing. Click the link below to see pictures and read about my past 3 days.

Zinal

It has been an eventful 3 days. I skipped a day of hiking and went to Italy to do my laundry. Well, I did do my laundry while I was there. Click the link below to see the pictures and read about the events. Thanks for following along.

Arolla

Two days of hiking down. This trail is quite tough, a lot of vertical. It brings back memories from hiking the Appalachian Trail. Click the link below to see some pictures of the French and Swiss Alps.

Champex, Switzerland

My latest adventure is off and running. I left Phoenix 4 days ago, took a redeye to London and continued to Geneva, Switzerland where I spent Thursday night. Friday morning I got a ride to Chamonix, France. I have had a great day and a half in Chamonix and tomorrow I start walking toward Zermatt Switzerland on the Walkers Haute Route. I plan to take 11 days to walk the 128 miles. This will be a fairly typical alpine trek. I will spend 5 of the next 10 nights in a mountain hut and the other 5 nights in a small hotel in a Swiss village. I paid a tour company to make the arrangements. I am travelling solo, but like my typical answer on the Appalachian Trail or a winter Camino, “I am by myself, but never alone”. This route is fairly popular, so I should meet many like minded walkers along the way. Click below to read and see what I have been up to.

Chamonix

We actually were in Glacier Bay and had an awesome time. This post includes Skagway and Sitka. We probably will not post about the last few days of the cruise. Click the link below to see our activities. Thanks for following along.

Glacier Bay 2

We are currently in Skagway and will be in Glacier Bay tomorrow. Here is an update of what we have been doing the past several days. Enjoy!

Glacier Bay

Tomorrow we head out from Seattle on an Alaskan cruise. Elizabeth did a great job today, walking around the airports and Pike Place Market in Seattle. By far her most active day since her knee replacement. Hopefully she did not over do it.

Below is a link to our Glacier Bay page. We will add to this page in a few days.
