On the 24th I hiked from Schynige Platte to First. It wasn't a particularly long or difficult hike - probably about 10 miles with 3,000 feet of net elevation rise. But it was one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. I'm going to put up another post about the Berner Oberland in general, so I'll save more description for that. Right now I just wanted to put up some pictures.
The beginning of the hike, near Schynige Platte
View of the Bernese Alps from the beginning of the hike
Eiger, Moench, Jungfrau. A very beautiful and famous trio
Cows along the trail
The valley to the north. The peak to the right is Faulhorn, which is the highest point of the trail
Me, with the camera facing north
The Bernese Alps to the east of the Eiger
Lake Bachalpsee, with the Lauberhorn behind it
The Eiger at sunset. Taken from my balcony at the hotel in Grindelwald
A long-exposure of the Eiger at night. Didn't have a tripod so it's a bit shaky
