| I've backpacked into and out of two of the highest paved roads in the Alps after
taking the bus up the road - Lac de Moiry and Mattmarksee. I've decided I don't need to cycle up either of those... Mike, Kent, Ray, Paul and I backpacked Lac de Moiry Thursday August 23 and Friday August 24, 2012 while hiking the Haute Route |

 I backpacked Lac de Moiry again Sunday June 29 and Monday June 30, 2014 while hiking another segment of the Haute Route. Pretty epic navigating a near whiteout with my iPhone GPS :) |
