Lake Garda & The Dolomites, Italy

Next on our italian adventure was Lake Garda. The lake itself is massive, surrounded by villages, each with its own vibe. For us though, it just wasn’t quite us. Sure it was nice to see, but it felt a little to slow for our last minutes in Italy for a while — so we wanted to do something epic.

Call us crazy, but we signed on for an extreme day trip to visit Pordoi Pass up the top of the Dolomites on a Friday, leaving from Peschiera. It was about 12 hours on a bus, but it was absolutely worth it. The top of Pordoi Pass might be one of the most spectacular things i’ve ever seen.

Being up there in early autumn, it felt like a visit to the moon. It was just an epic afternoon and really hope to go back with a car to spend much more time in the area.
