I still love the hike up to Le Reculet every time. This time, Jess, Brad, and I made the trek for the last day of their trip. Tired legs will make the long flight home a little easier, so up we went. We saw a few chamoix on the ridge and Mt. Blanc made an early, subtle appearance, but was soon swallowed by clouds.

The final ascent...looking pretty steep.
A hazy view from the top, but cleared a bit while we took a long lunch at the summit.
We heard the bells long before seeing the cows when the cloud-cover passed. We made a quick trip down to get ready for a final dinner together joining with other friends of theirs who just happen to have moved from St. Louis to a town just a few miles away.
