Refugio des Amitges

he Refugio Des Amitges above Espot in the Spanish Pyrenees.  The twin summits in the background are Les Enchants.  The refuge sits in a giant cirque with lakes and a pinnacle in the center.  To get there you can walk up about 8 miles or take a 4WD taxi.  Solid glaciated granite and good weather.

“Well, Bill, we’ve come halfway around the goddamn world and this place looks like any cirque in the high Sierras 20 minutes from my house!…but it’s still nice.
