You may not find this terribly rewarding unless you're included here, so this is a good time for casual and random browsers to turn back before they get too caught up in the sweep and majesty of the proceedings and can't let go.

Here are some views of Mont Tendre in the valley of the dead trees, a grim day in early June

We're passing the cabane Aurore on our way towards Mont Tendre, 8 June 2008.

Enough trees, we'll walk over to the summit pylon to keep busy for a while.

We're making a circuit around Mont Tendre, and there's the Chalet de Yens

And the Cabane du Cunay towards the end of the day
