When you think of Italy you think of driving vespa’s along windy roads, eating the finest Italian cuisine paired with endless wine, art and romance. It’s a country on the top of almost every travelers list. Averaging over 50 million tourists a year.

I never really thought I would be given the chance to see this seventh wonder of the world, yet there I was standing in front of all her glory. The Taj Mahal.

The Hatcher Pass view is stunning within a mile of starting your hike. Opening up to the vast, green valley it’s hard to gain perspective as we search for our climbing route.
