Hike along steep cliffs above Grindelwald

It was cold and foggy in the morning. Not the right day to head to the summit and observe the alps from the Jungfraujoch.

So we decided to take a tram over the

mountain into Grindelwald, and then do a nice hike up alongside a glacial crack to an alpine restaurant.

Here is the tram we took:

You can get a sense of how big of a playground we are playing in with the map behind Cam:

This is the glacial valley we hiked up:

The first good glimpse of the valley from the high trail:

Look how the trail switchbacks up that grassy nose:

Judy, Cam, and Pete standing away from the edge:

Cam and Judy with the fenceless trail behind them. Many hundreds of feet down:

Look at the rock wall and see a beautiful (but narrow) glacial waterfall:

Grassy slope, cliff, grassy slope, cliff. Repeat:

Here is the little alpine restaurant perched above the glacier:

We had delicious vegetable soup and fresh bread with perfect crust. Jon also had a fresh bratwurst, and is seen here squeezing Swiss mustard out of what looked like a toothpaste tube. Mmmmmmmmm:

The sun came out a bit on the way down.  Here is what the glacial crack looked like:

Another great day of exercise and clean air!
