Val Verzasca


One more photo of the hike and a shot Abby took right around campus. She seems to have an eye. I keep getting the format a little off, but you get the idea.


















































Here are some pictures of our hike. The top of the hike was a small waterfall and freezing cold swimming hole. Abby and Sam were one of the first ones in. There are tiny little enclaves along the hike that people live in, even though the only way to them is a 45 minute hike. They have a zip line type apparatus that they use to haul heavy items up the hill. At the bottom of the hike, in the valley, is a charming river that flows over large rock formations. The roman looking bridge is a popular spot for jumping in. Its about 35 feet, so not for me, but I did jump from 15-20 ft. The scariest part was the water temperature. Wednesday, I go on a different hike in the area, so I will hopefully have some new photos.
