This is one of the first views of the Grossglockner glacier (technically the Franz Joseph glacier).
The GG is toll road, it's about $30 for a day of riding...pure bliss. The peak is amazing.
I walked around the parking area and thought I heard an accordion...yup, some dude in Lederhosen was playing the accordion. Typical Austrian Alps. (follow the link below to smugmug to view the video)

The last 100' of elevation to the highest point on the GG is the original paving stones. It can be a bit tricky as the road corkscrews around some tight turns. Michael said he would take a pass so Joe and I took in the view.
2571 meters is 8435'.
