Little Hiker

You might think that all we do is hike. In fact, we do quite a lot of it - it is free, it is great exercise, and the area is second to none. We love it!

Today we were up above Grindelwald - a lovely spring day, with still some snow around at higher levels, but warm sunshine and flowers everywhere. Jaclyn has great hiking legs - 4 to 5 hours are OK at one time.

All through the area are cold wells to supply us with our drinking water along the way. Here Jackie has just tanked up in front of that ancient barn. There are plenty of fellow hikers - you can't hike in Europe and hope to find remote places you have all to yourself, as we would be used to in Manitoba or the Rockies. But it is beautiful almost beyond description, and that makes up for it!
