The last day of our Haute Route in the Alps was a doozy! 13 miles in length and about 6200 feet in elevation changes -- a lot of down hill and it was hard on the knees! We started by crossing the largest pedestrian suspension bridge in world. It was shrouded in mist and was quite eerie. We proceeded over some huge rockfall areas with emergency shelters built throughout the trail not to mention tunnels. When we emerged the Matterhorn revealed itself perched over the bustling little town of Zermatt. Once in Zermatt we delighted in our hotel sap and pizza and beer with our fiends Rosemary and Guy and our new hiking friend Ruth, from Salzberg. Tomorrow it is on to Geneva by train, then fly to Barcelona to pick up our bikes.

Hi John and Mo - nice blog! I love we have been promoted to "fiends" - appropriate! You both are such great adventure partners! Look forward to another...though one with perhaps less stress on the knees!
Rosemary & Guy
Gorgeous photos! (Forgive me if I am over-using that adjective!)
