view point from Historic alpine hotel Hospiz
the road going up.....and I thought Zion National park had switch backs.... Hah that was nothing compared to these.
At the Alpine Hotel
My baby girl in the Alps
WOW!! We went down that and then back up the other side in the distance to Furka pass and the Galcier
View of Furka pass, Belvedere and Rhone glacier in distance
when we were coming up Grimsel pass you could see where they had carved the snow out to free the road and you looked up and saw about a 20 foot bank of snow. It was crazy. Wish I got a picture of it!
View down to Oberwald from Planggerli
Beautiful girl with a beautiful view
The switch backs going down
Looking up towards Belvedere where we stopped to see the Rhone Galcier
Top of Furka Pass
about 8,000 feet above sea level
A view from Google maps of the glacier and pass
A view of the bottom of the glacier where the ice cave was
Amazing!
It was about 70 degrees up there it was nice and warm!
And Bright with the sun bouncing off the snow
But inside the ice cave it felt like a freezer Bbbbrrrrrr!
entering the ice cave
Clint at the entrance
It was kind of un-nerving because it was dripping water a lot at the entrance and you felt a little scared walking into a ice cave that was part of alive and moving glacier.
It was so blue in there and you could see through the ice a couple of feet and saw layers and air bubbles. It was so beautiful!
an Australian couple we met along the way
The boys played in this little water stream for a while. We had a good lesson about how water moves obstacles. We would stick a rock in and it would push it all the way to the end. They were so entertained.....I need one of these in my yard!
Trail markers along the rock face
looking down into the valley towards the town Gletsch
Headed back down
There was a crystal cave and water power plant in the mountain and this water came out of the mountain from it. It was really cool looking!
I loved being here and wish I had time and money to explore every valley and mountain peak in this area. They were all so Beautiful!!

I don't blame you for putting 60 pictures in that post, because they are gorgeous! I bet the mountain air up there was crisp and cool. And that ice cave was so pretty. My kids would have loved that
