The weather forecast: Klar und wolkenlos [clear and cloud-free]. I took the only logical course of action: start the weekend a day early and head for the Alps.
My hike went from Schynigge Platte (2068m) to the peak of the Faulhorn (2686) and back down to First (2168). Nearly the entire walk was above the tree line, and the first half was entirely in snow.
Get this: I wore these amazing Lowe hiking boots for free! Why do I keep exclaiming about free stuff? After shelling out about twice as much as is my custom for everything from zucchini to stamps, finding anything free is an absolute delight. It’s a good thing I had those boots and these delightfully cheesy hiking sticks. More than once, the path followed steep drop-offs and the boots/sticks kept me afloat in the slushy snow.
I’ll stop talking now, and let you look at the pictures. These are just a few, check out the Photos link to the right for more.
Can I just say that I still can’t believe I live here?
