Rest day today to prepare for long 18 miler tomorrow.
Drove 30 min. to Zernez (village that is the entrance to the Swiss Nat. Parki).
- Beautiful info. center. They suggested 2 primary treks (medium and long).
- Drove back to S-Chanf and entered s'ern end of park.
- Hiked 4.5 miles up the Val Trupchun to Alp Trupchun.
- 1250' gain, so very gentle and easy (5500' up to 6750').
- Avg. 3.3 mph with practically no effort (didn't break a sweat).
- Park rules: no pets, no bikes, no horses, no wandering off trail. 100% untouched. Lots of wildlife.
Stopped at local hotel for wireless to do updating. Picasa rocks!
