Hiking, hiking, hiking

Today the clouds had rolled in but we had very little rain. The views were just as impressive as the clouds hung over the valley and the mist rolled down the steep cliffs.
We headed off on foot toward the tram up and out of the valley to Murren.

From there we started a steep hike back to the valley floor. Our first stop was the little remote village of Gimmelwald. We found a great lunch stop at the Pension Gimmelwald. We each had an outstanding Lunch, a beer and amazing views into the valley. Thanks to Kathleen for recommending this hike.

After our amazing lunch we started the hike down. It was steep, beautiful and free of people. Truly wonderful.
