spectacular day trip as wonderful.
We start early in the direction of Val Racines, where we leave the car just down the road (the valley is still there).

The beginning is quiet, a bit 'wild, then look at the open on a great white amphitheater.

A first wall, then a series of bumps that lead us to the base dell'anticima, where there is the last wall to go.

The descent is beautiful, in first part a lot of dust, even if enough surface, then the final part is a bit 'crusty.
the car there change quickly, then goulash and beer in the nearby (and only) local.
