We really couldn't have asked for more on this particular outing. The trail in Val Vertova is full of beautiful scenes like this, where you have the option of taking it easy all the way to the end or stopping in an idyllic spot to soak up the sun. I've never seen perfectly tanned boobs in full display until this hike, but with such an inviting environment, why the heck not?

To get to the starting point: from Vertova, follow Via Cinque Martini until località Lacni. Instead of following the right bend in the road, take the left for about 300 meters until the parking lot (B). If it's full, space is available at the headquarters of Gruppo Alpinistico Vertovese (GAV) a hundred meters going back and across the stream (A), but only if the gates are open. It takes about an hour to reach the end of the trail. For a challenge, head up the n.527 that climbs the left just before reaching the end. It quickly leads back down to the river then continues into drier terrain up the mountain to the encampment of Bivacco Testa.

Nate - I guess this is a good time to let you know that da Mistah is not too crazy about the camera pointing at him. Wait til you see him with his bandaged ear...
Kat - it was like...sheesh! I was walking along the path, looking down the river embankment and baboom! These D cups stared back at me. Kinda freaked me out at first.
Nate - with the lax laws on topless sunbathing, you'd be having one stiff neck from looking not once, not twice but thrice!
