Passo di Monte Rest

Beautiful sunny morning for a ride up through Meduno, Lago Tramonti, Tramonti di Sotto e Sopra, the glorious stacks of switchbacks chiseled into the cliffs of Monte Rest, to the pass at 925 meters  They are thinning out the trees which made this ride cool and shady in summer, but the new views revealed compensate for extra sweat.  Today I turned around at the pass but next time I’ll descend to the north and choose one of the many return routes.  Cycling heaven.
