Dolomites 2014

In the Fall of 2014, Rena and I spent a month in Italy. After flying and visiting Innsbruck, Austria, we took a train to the Dolomites in Northern Italy. We did day hikes from mountain huts for 4 nights where we tried out some of the Via Ferratas (climbing routes where you clip into cables for protection). We used several guidebooks to hiking and climbing in the Dolomites. The mountains were quiet as it was late in the season, just before the huts closed down for the winter.
This gallery will describe the Dolomites and our time in the North through day 11. A different gallery called "Italy 2014", describes the remainder of the trip, starting with Venice.
