Montagna Palanzana

Mount Palanzana (really just a large hill) is what you see over the Eastern side of Viterbo. I put up a sign at school asking if any students wanted to join me for a hike today and six took me up on it.

After a morning sprinkle, the day turned out to be another gorgeous crisp fall day. The weather gods are on my side this year.

These were the blazes we followed to the top.

The top of the mountain was tree-covered so this is the view of Viterbo from Palanzana.

This hill town was in the far distance. I believe it is Montefiascone.

I guess they have Boy Scouts in Italy.
