Default Swisswife and me visited the Aare-Canyon... !! pic-heavy !!

Hello again forum - members!!

Swisswife and me had a very hard weekend. We were hiking in the mountains of the Grimsel-aera for two days. Only a few miles
from our starting-point is the ca. 0.8 mile long Aare-Canyon. It is not so big like the Grand Canyon or Brice-Canyon, but maybe you like
the pictures anyway. I've mixed Swisswife's and my pictures. We guess that they give you an impression of what we've seen there.





















The water is pretty cold and the "milky-green" water is glacierwater.

Google-maps-coordinates of the East-entrance: 46° 43′ 4.5″ N, 8° 12′ 49.31″ E

Lovely pictures!! I don't think I'd like to be swimming there; that water looks fast, to say nothing of being cold.
