Flowers are important to the people of Andorra...it shows. We are heading upwards, the first test is ahead.
The large building above Jen in the opening photograph seen from the other side of the hike. (We began about 700 feet below it.)
Almost straight up...feels nearly vertical at times.
A good way to walk and wake-up in the mornings.
We cross a private road that links only one homestead, with an 'interesting backdrop'.
The path brings us above our village, El Tarter, from which we spot our apartment. Easy! It's the one with the black roof. Unlike Nepal, there seems to be a suspicion of multi-colors in construction projects.
Obviously, nature disagrees with the culture. Across the way are ski slopes.
From higher up on the path, the lower trail appears attractive.
Another attractive sight: Jen focuses on the narrow(ish) path.
On earlier hikes, different overall routes, the same beginning/end climbs respectively. The clue to differentiate the hikes/days in a blog is, of course, to focus on Jen's outfit.
Cheers,
Jen awaits an AAA A(ndora). I told her it's still better to negotiate the tough climbs rather than hire a fancy set of wheels. Would she listen to me?

In a short distance, the elevation gain is remarkable...confirm with muscles and lungs.
The scenes throughout the Principality are defining.
Coming out of the forest.
On a desperate day, we end up playing hide-and-go-seek with a goat...well, we suppose it was different...perhaps, a little slow.

Jenni and Jeffrey
One of us remains where Jen left her wheels, outside 'the house on a hill'. Could be a long night but one with incredible views.
