We’re on our way!  16 miles and 2200′ of climbing brings us to the outer edge of the Lake Geneva valley and our rest stop for day one!

We started early out of our hotel

Following a trail through a major city is really challenging as the trail markers are inconspicuous (at best) and can be rare. Nonetheless, we made it out of town without getting lost (yippee)!

Fifteen miles later, we closed in on our rest stop. Here a photo of Diane with Lake Geneva in the background.

If you look carefully over her right shoulder (zoom in), you can actually see the water jet spout in Lake Geneva. You’d think that after 6 1/2 hours of walking we’d be further along. Oh well.

There’s so much to talk about in this first day, but … we’re actually a bit beat, so we’ll save those items for another day.

We’ll leave you with some photos from the day’s hike. Until tomorrow …

Au revoir!
