The primary reason for our recent weekend up higher into the Alps was to just get away for a few days. We wanted to go in a direction we don't typically spend any time in so might be fun to explore. We didn't want to get too far away, yet we wanted to go far enough away we weren't still in our own backyard.
I left it up to Doc Leo to pick a spot perhaps two to three hours away. He thought he had an area all picked out, so we headed in that direction. But we'd gotten a later start than expected (I wanted to finish up a particular yard project!), and that ended up changing most of the itinerary.
However, what we ended up doing was mostly exploring the awesome mountains around us and a few little gems hidden within. I realized it was almost like hiking by car, so I'd like to take you along on our drive. Roll down your window and enjoy the fresh air!
