Tired and Bruised!

Our feet are killing us and Lin got a bruise on her shoulder from the backpack strap. (That was something she hadn't expected). Beautiful vistas. Definitely think the hiking poles were a great investment. We ran into others on the trail but it looks as thoguh almost all of them had driven to a parking spot and then walked the trails a bit.
We took the more difficult trail from the Maison Forestietie`re de la Duchesse to Mount Vinaigre (the highest point of the Massif at 618meters. You could see the soot on the trees as the area has had a problem with fires.
