These photos are gorgeous Seven..I'm feeling light headed already. And Yes, more than usual.

Where is this? Where is Crossa? Don't forget chums I finished schooling at 15!

AN, I'll tell you when I see you next.

Crossa is the local name of one of the passes, no one would have ever learned it in a geography lesson. It's a wild region atypical in some ways for the country it is part of. The immediate area's real name translates as 'Magic Valley'.

I'd post just how to get there and all that but the place is starting to get too many human beings visit it. I've been there about five times over the years and have seen it go from hardly any people passing through in a week to now about ten or fifteen, in the lower parts, every day. And that is in what the locals call the off season. Even down in the valley where you start, to get to the tiny village where the trail starts one used to ride a small 'post office' bus that held about eight people, but now they run a bus that carries forty. I'm all for promoting the place but not if it means I'm gonna find cigarette butts at 15,000 feet.
