2007 Tatras

Folder: Tatras
A subset of the pictures from my summer vacation, focused on the Slovak Tatras. I can't say enough good about the Tatras -- three days there wasn't nearly enough.

A lot of Slovakia seems to consist of rolling fields and blue skies. Taken from the gas station just inside the border crossing from Hungary (the geotag is a couple miles off). A good omen for the rest of the country...

First view of the Tatras. It's funny how suddenly they appear over the horizon.

Sunset over Vysoke Tatry, seen from the parking lot of the Tesco store in Poprad. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to a place with an unobstructed view.

The blue trail. No, it wasn't all paved so nicely, and no, the pavement wasn't so nice to walk on after five or six hours. But it sure beat walking on talus or scree in the Rockies.

Skaredy Potok creek. These dead trees obviously predated the great 2004 windstorm, but there were plenty of others from that event -- even this deep into the intact forest.

The rock wall on the north side of the valley, near the east end of the Prostredny Hreben flatirons. It is much more impressive and recognizable from the west end. This might be Predny Ostep and Prostredny Ostep.
