Somewhat out of character on this Friday, we had a destination in mind as we left Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port: the gorge at Kekuetta, near the tiny village of Saint-Engrâce. We needed to get some exercise and hiking is our “thing.”

It was a great drive.

I mean it was a really, great drive: beautiful countryside…

…with wonderful vistas at every turn…

…and good road with just the right amount of up/down and right/left to make driving fun. And no traffic!

Simply, gorgeous!
