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.

Glacier Bay

What a fun journey this was. Quite different from the busy spring/summer walks we have done previously. Thank you for following along and I appreciate the comments. I did a short YouTube video. The link is at the bottom of the post.

Camino 2025 Recap

I made it to Santiago yesterday and had a great evening with China, Italy and Korea. A wonderful finish to the trip. Today I took the bus to Fisterra. Tomorrow back to Santiago, then Thursday a train to Madrid and Friday fly home.

Santiago

I have only 12 miles remaining to get to the Cathedral in Santiago. This trip has gone very fast, I can’t believe it is almost over. I have physically felt great. My feet have been zero issue. I did get one small blister, but it did not affect my walking. It looks like tomorrow is the best weather forecast so far – sunny and mid 50s. Hopefully I will see a few familiar faces in Santiago. My two Korean woman friends went through O Pedrouzo today. I saw them at lunch. They will arrive in the morning. They are also planning to take the bus to Fisterra.
