Hiking the Rigi

The Rigi is a mountain we see frequently, rising above Lake Zug to the south (Jason's school is right on Lake Zug and our church is in Zug also). We finally got to see the view from the top of it last Saturday. It looks down on Lake Zug to the northeast and Lake Luzern to the northwest, and over the Alps to the south. We took the train up and hiked for two hours down before hopping back on the train the rest of the way. It was hot and sunny and gorgeous. I loved seeing the Blue Gentian flowers, which I think of a a quintessential Alpine flower (ever since it was on a poster in the bathroom growing up).
