Yesterday was cold but sunny so we decided to fit in one last hike for the season. It was more of a walk in the woods as we had to stay pretty low (below tree line) to avoid snow and below-freezing temperatures.
There is a gorge in Flims that was created by the Rhine river and it's supposedly the "grand canyon" of Switzerland. Well we didn't find it all that impressive or even very pretty. We actually haven't found anything about Flims as impressive or beautiful as other places in Switzerland and we've been there 3 times already. But there were a few nice views on our hike, just nothing like what we've seen on our other hikes. Maybe we've just become picky.
It started out pretty cold. We took a break for a snack and Martin warmed himself in the sun:
The forest around us was about 90% evergreen trees and those that weren't evergreen were either still green or yellow or brown but I found a little baby tree growing all by itself that was pretty! Can you see it here:
A little closer:
Really close:
Martin patiently waiting while I admire my little tree:
Here's a nice view of the gorge and some mountains in the background:
There is a gourmet restaurant up in these woods called Conn. We just sat and had a drink on the patio of it, basking in the warm sunshine. You need a reservation to be able to sit and eat on the patio (well you could sit and eat inside without a reservation but that's not much fun). Next time.
There is a really pretty, clear lake called Lag la Cauma. You can swim in it in the summer time but when it's fall it's just for admiring:
And another pretty view on our way back down to the bus stop:
