With thousands of miles of trails crisscrossing the Alps as they arc through France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany and Slovenia, you could easily spend a lifetime hiking here. But the Haute Route, linking Chamonix, France, to Zermatt, Switzerland, delivers more scenic splendour in one achievable trek than any other. It takes you through some of the highest hikeable terrain in Europe, passes beneath ten of the Alps' twelve highest peaks and connects the tallest, Mont Blanc (4808m), with the Matterhorn (4478m). Weaving through pine forests sprinkled with wild mushrooms and berries, you'll frequently emerge onto grassy slopes where herders graze their cows, goats and sheep throughout the summer.

The origin of the trails goes back to prehistoric time, when they were established by the first inhabitants of the island and served as the only means of transport and communications. Later, when the Spaniards conquered the island they expanded the network of footpaths and it connected all the villages with each other and connected the villages with the capital, Santa Cruz.

Usually when I drive between California and Minnesota, I am on a tight schedule and don't have any time for sightseeing. I normally make the trip in two long days, with an overnight stop in Denver to see my son. However this time I had about 10 days to make the trip from Minnesota to Los Angeles. After spending a few days in Colorado Springs, I headed south and then was planning on going to the Grand Canyon via US Highway 160. I wanted to enjoy the back roads instead of taking the freeway, but when I checked on road conditions with the sheriff's department, they said the road was icy, along with blowing snow. The head wind was also so strong I couldn't even go 50 mph in high gear!
