Hut Overnight

The view in the evening from the Trift Hut

The boys on the way to the Tasch Hut—lunch break

Hiking in snow on the way back to Zermatt

Arriving at the Tasch Hut

A board game after dinner

Max and Brandon doing a bit of scrambling

A moment of solitude an the way to Trift

Getting ready to start the hike to the Trift Hut

We are almost there!

The girls enjoying a short break

Holding up the Swiss flag at the Trift Hut

Studying the trail ahead

Getting ready to listen to Whymper's "Ascent of the Matterhorn"

Alyssa and Julia keeping warm before the morning hike

Getting ready to head off on Saturday morning

Elizabeth, Margaret, and Mari enjoying the scenery

Posing on the Hohbalmen trail

Doing a bit of meditation before hiking again

On the way down to Zermatt

Cooling off after a long downhill

Posing at Taschalp just before the ascent to Tasch hut

Crossing one of the many streams

DJ and Jakesy building their own cairn

The boys reaching the top of the pass...

...and now the descent into Zermatt

Looking down at Tasch from the lunch spot

A little more exciting river crossing

One of the snow fields they crossed after leaving Tasch hut
