First Hiking Trip

Yesterday, we went on our first hike. We took a tram to the other side of the lake to a popular trail. There are hiking trails everywhere here, and they are all very well marked and very well taken care of. We pushed ourselves up some really steep hills but were rewarded with the incredible views at the top and found a very nice restaurant and hotel with a great viewing tower. After enjoying the scenes, we realized we still had to get down the steep gravel hills. It was an adventure but we made it! Such a great day. We want to go back next weekend!
And we made it. On the tram headed home
Refueling with Fiber One bars at the top.




View on the other side of the tower. Toward Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus

YAY! We made it. On the top of the tower above the awesome restaurant
