Ž is invited to the Hiking Potluck at the Seattle Clubhouse starting at 6:15pm.
March 25, Thurs: Europe's
Mountains: Switzerland & Romania: Inn-to-Inn or Hut-to-Hut: Two choices for
thru hiking!
Join us for a fun information-filled presentation by John and Amy Osaki,
former park rangers turned hiking leaders for Mountain Hiking Holidays.
Begin with inn to inn hiking in Switzerland, and hike from Meiringen across
alpine passes with views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks, and create
classic Swiss Alps memories of flower-filled meadows, glacier-clad peaks,
and family-run comfortable mountain inns. For a more rustic and rugged
experience, traverse Romania's Fagaras Mountains on a hut-to-hut trek. Hike
in the land of Dracula on a five-day continuous route climbing from the
valley, through thick forest, into sub-alpine and alpine meadows, to gain an
open ridge that includes the three highest peaks of Romania. Shelter each
night in basic mountain huts, and reward yourself with day after day of 360
degree panoramas of a sea of peaks and ridges dotted with alpine tarns.
For a sneak peak of tonight's photos and more, take a look at www.MountainHikingHolidays.com
