Another perfect day




Except my calves are really sore from 2600 vertical feet of downhill hiking over 2 days. Hiked the other side of the valley today, up a steep canyon to a little inn for some mid-morning rhubarb kuchen. They along the slope through groves of Larch (what we called tamarack in Granby) & meadows of alpine wildflowers, many new and some that we see in Churchville. Glaciers, snow-capped peaks, & the Matterhorn continuously the backdrop. As beautiful a place as I have ever seen. Pedometer said 8.6 miles. My calves say lots of vertical.
