Hut Hike Day 1

(can you see the sweat and how tomatoes red my face is) Today I hiked up to the Blüemlisalphütte SAC from Kandersteg! I hiked over 1600m of elevation in 13km :) Long story short I could have taken a cable car up to the lake and cut things down but...my pride of not cheating and my university budget had me walking the extra couple km and about 600 more meters of elevation 😎 getting to the top was AMAZING! Such great views. I did it in record timing because I knew there was a storm rolling in just about when I was going to get to the hut. Luckily it was an hour and a half later but it came in full swing. We got hail, snow, rain, thunderstorms, lightning...the whole 9 yards. At one point the hut closed all of its doors and was not allowing anyone outside because it was too dangerous!!Read more
