Day 1 of our hike along Alta Via 4 in the Dolomites. Amazing how much different terrain we saw over the course of each day

Coming up on Rifugio Tre Scarperi for an espresso and quick break before the first big climb out of this valley

On the up!

Out onto this beautiful green plateau

More up!

First views of Tre Cime, the three towers in the distance

Obligatory selfie. First of many

Lunch and a cappuccino at Rifugio Locatelli

Tre Cime showing off

Next stop, Cadini di Misurina (jagged peaks in the background). But first we hiked out on this sunny ridge

Katie taking it all in. Cadini di Misurina in the background. You can actually see where we headed next from here. Up that big scree field between the two main peaks

Heading towards an old WW1 bunker carved into the limestone. These are littered all over the place

Backside view of Tre Cime

Rifugio Fonda Savio nestled into the mountains

Scree slog as our final climb of the day. Tough way to end it

Down, down, down to the hut

Cadini backside view

A beautiful sight for tired legs, Rifugio Citta di Carpi

Not a bad place for a beer to end the day
