55.23 Andorra: Pic Blanc via Grandvalira car park (Grau Roig).

We finally get it. Until now, we had never understood the 'Big Bang' theory. Our day got started with a bang and only got better thereafter. For the younger generations, this is where the concept: 'I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine" arises. And people think we're smarter than cattle. Also, I finally understand what they mean by 'Animal Husbandry'...slow learner but getting there. 

The tender moments/periods between most mothers and offspring, something admirable which also gives 'heart' to the world.

From the peak, we look down toward the main road that passes through the towns. To the right is France. On the left, is a major ski area. The real kicker is the bright green indicates the fairways of a golf course (For Colyn Levine).
From the top of the ski station (a different hike), we view a golf course. Why is that not surprising? After all, this is Andorra. To play a round of golf, one takes the gondola rather than a caddy to Europe's highest links.
After ascending for an hour over ski-slopes and mountains, we spot the target, Pic Blanc, on the left.
Moving up the steep slopes. Now we understand why skiers choose to 'ride downhill'. Not as dumb as...um...hikers.
We first head for the station on the left, steep climb to next station on right (looks ordinary) and then up and along the ridge.
Jen heads for the top.
A nice surprise awaits us in the form of a view from the peak.
An approach to the peak.
Commencement down from the peak.

Let's go home...first hurdle of 4 to reach, below.
Everything in Andorra is either high up or...very high up.
Making her way on the peak to find a place for brunch. She was not a happy girl sitting on the edge.
