In August 2018, we went on an indescribably beautiful hike in the French Pyrenees. We followed part of the popular GR10 trail, starting in Cauterets and ending in Bagnères-de-Luchon. The entire GR10 trail is 950 km long and runs just north of the Spanish-French border from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean coast. As we […]
