Take a trip with my friends Connor, Nick, and I to the Dolomites, located in northern Italy. We began our trip in Venice, where we spent a few hours before driving up north to Tione di Trento. We spent the next couple of days fly fishing the Torrente Arnó, Fiume Sarca, and Rio Vallesinella, catching a multitude of brown and marble trout. Barely scratching the fly fishing itch, we ventured east to Cortina d’Ampezzo. Nothing could have prepared us for the breathtaking views we were about to see. Every direction we turned our heads was one of the most picturesque landscapes you could lay your eyes on. We split our time around Cortina staying in a couple of the rifugios in the surrounding area. Our last day started with taking the gondola down from Rifugio Lagazuoi and driving back to Venice, where we ended our trip with a classic Italian dinner: pasta and pizza. The memories created on this trip with two of my best friends will last a lifetime and then some.
