Locarno Part 2

So after we hiked to our first rest stop, where I thought we would turn around and go back down, Martin looks to the west and says, "Let's climb up that other ridge over there and see what's on the other side of it. It's only another hour of hiking." Ha. Thankfully all of the walking I've been doing in Zürich has strengthened my legs enough that I wasn't tired yet so we continued on to the top of the next ridge.

And then we had some lunch by the big cross on the top of the ridge. Lunch being, of course, bread with ham and cheese. Is there anything else to eat in Switzerland?



Our view from our lunch spot:



We hiked up here from the little circular lookout on the little hill to the left of the tower and buildings in this picture. That lookout was where we took the pictures in Part 1.



Here's a view in a different direction:



Martin really liked all these little flowers growing along the trail near the top.




And we also thought it was neat that you could see the deciduous trees turn into evergreens right before the treeline ended near the top. With some snow-capped mountains in the background, of course!
