I set out on this hike hoping to get some fiery photos of the larches in full colour, but there was a mountain behind them… and I thought, why not? On the way up, I met the most wonderful mama goat and her kid, and they happily posed for a photo op! Three hundred extra metres of climbing later, the views were absolutely breathtaking. The way down was a challenge, though, because I was so sore. The lesson here: sometimes you have to push through a little pain to reach the mountaintop!
