Cirque de Gavarnie

Another sunny day and another walk into the mountains ... To the South of Gavarnie lies a huge "cirque" with impressive walls leading up to the glacial bowl below the Breche.
Parking in the huge car park outside Gavarnie, we took to the track following all the other people doing the same thing.
My memories of coming here as a child only really recall the donkeys (still there but much less of them) and long cobbled tracks ... Now there is much less stone, and I did not remember the cirque at all.

The cirque itself.
Plenty of waterfalls.

the hotel in the depths, then we turned around to find a quiet place for lunch, besides the river.
