Tuesday 9.18.07 – Valley Hike and Trümmelbach Falls

Click on any picture below to see a larger version

           

Trümmelbach Falls is a fascinating place where a stream of water has cut its way

through the hard rock, creating deep crevices and caves, only a few feet wide.

          

A man-made series of tunnels lets visitors access the caves,

and see the torrents of water cascading through the confined space

           

This water was ice just a few hours before you see it flowing before your eyes, and the mist

and wind it produces can chill you to the bone, even if it's a lovely 80°F in the valley outside.

     

It was raining earlier, but it's drying out now.

     

We walked back down the valley and encountered traffic.

     

My Oh My, those cows are lookin' fine!
