You know you are not in the Sawtooth Mountains when:
1. You have to ask, “Is 4,800 meters very high?”
2. That cute little “garter snake” is actually a viper.
3. Hut?! Chalet is more like it.
4. Showers?!?
5. “Hurry…we’re going to miss the train back to the trailhead.”
6. No bagels. Only baguettes.
7. Wait that’s not a deer, that’s an ibex!
8. That peak over there is in Italy and the one over there is in Switzerland.
9. Instead of an SNRA wilderness permit, you have to remember to bring your passport.
10. After 8 miles of hiking and an increase in altitude of 1000+ meters, you come around a bend in the trail and a Ferrari speeds past. (I have the photo to prove it and will post later.)
Great times in the French Alps!!
