Cascade de Gavarnie


Gavarnie Falls, France.  The highest waterfall in Europe, with an overall 422 meter drop.  Hiked to it as part of a 2011 vacation that included Cauterets, Lourdes, Pic du Midi de Bigorre, and Pont d'Espagne, some of the so-called "Grand Sites" of the Pyrenees.  Photos from those trips to follow.
