So this is the big mountain right outside of Aix, and we hiked to the base(only the base because we didn't have time, it's a 4 hr climb just to the top, but we're doing it again soon) of it on Sunday. It was awesome. This is the mountain that was featured in many of Cezanne's paintings. He was obsessed with this mountain and painted it a million times. It's a large limestone conglomerate, which makes it a little tricky to climb because the rocks like to fall apart and turn into gravel, but most of the mountain is well cemented. Mom would not like this hike, by the way. Here are some pics of the adventure, enjoy!!

Hey, always let your friends think I am adventurous and willing to climb any mountain!!! (You're right...Way out of my league)
Glad to see that you're getting out into nature and at the same time putting some of that geology knowledge to use. Beautiful pics!
