It was like I opened all my kitchen cabinet doors and cracked my head into the sharp corner of each of them and then whacked myself on the head with a mallet. 🤦🏻‍♀

@@karenflynnhikes ow! Lol. Not funny but kind of. 🥰😄

👍🏼🥾

Yes, it's nice this time of year with all the birds chirping away!

It's a big and wonderful world out there! I lived in Germany near Heidelberg for 11 years, and it is one of my favorite places.

👍🏻🥾 Enjoy!

It's a nice hike, enjoy!

Hello, we stayed in Lauterbrunnen in an Airbnb near the Silberhorn Hotel. The train station is just a hundred or so meters from that hotel. We had a rental car and drove to the other places that were closer to Interlaken. We were there in mid September, and the weather was chilly at night and perfect during the day.

@@karenflynnhikes Thanks. That’s very helpful..

​@@karenflynnhikesDo you think Wengen is a good base for a 5 night stay to cover the hikes you mentioned around Launterbrunnen? I'm going in May. Thanks fir your insight. P.S. Fantastic video.

@@skhoo54azelia Yes, Wengen is also a great place to stay, and you can easily do all the hikes I mention in the video. Enjoy your trip!

I had never been that close to a bull before, and man he was an impressively big bundle of beef. 🐂

I don't know of any local hiking trips that solo travelers can join. But the town Lauterbrunnen has a Facebook page, and if you ask on that page perhaps they will have some ideas for you. Have a wonderful trip.

Thanks, I was hoping I did the right thing especially since everything I know about bulls comes from cartoons. They seem to snort, paw the ground and chase people around in circles, all things I definitely wanted to avoid, lol.

It's a good challenge. Enjoy it!

My guess is that you stopped at a little flat area soon after the bench with the number 9 on it. The overlook is another 100-200 yards farther up the trail. There's a good-sized trail sign at the overlook with arrows pointing towards Hamburg and Brown Canyon trails. The trail doesn't get any steeper for that last 100-200 yards but to me, since I've already had to trudge up a very steep trail for a half mile, that distance seems like long, long way.🥾🥾

@@karenflynnhikes Thank you Karen! I'll get there next year.

🥾👍🏼

Thank you so much for adding this information. I am so grateful. Every so often I get lucky and get a comment from someone who knew this area when people still lived there. I have a photocopy of a book (it's more of an in depth pamphlet, only 45 pages long) called "A Place Called Sunnyside" written in 1982 by Roberta Lamma, a relative in some way to the McIntyres. She writes about Louis McIntyre, John's father, when he was the Postmaster at Parker Canyon, and later in the book she describes John McIntyre's return to Sunnyside in the 60s. Was Black Oak Cemetery near Sunnyside?

We stayed for a week and loved every minute. When I lived in Germany I often would visit just for 2-3 days to hike or ski, and that was also nice amount of time.

The cows parades are mostly in September. The Lauterbrunnen tourist office posts the dates 5-6 days in advance on their Facebook page. Maybe other towns do the same. It is so much fun to see!🐄

👍🏼

Yes, you're right, some of the paths are normal hiking paths. Others, especially near farm fields and pastures, are wide enough for dual use by vehicles and walkers. One of the things I loved about Europe during my 11 years living there is how easy it is to get around by bike and foot. 💓

The first two times I tried it I turned back!😩

Great memories🙂

👍🏼🥾

The hike is very well organized, and the trails are in good shape. I hope you have a great time with your sister.

@@karenflynnhikes thank you 😊

My eclipse viewer didn't even meet my very low expectations!

Sedona is uniquely beautiful.

It's a beautiful canyon.🥾

It's gorgeous in the fall.

@@karenflynnhikes it looks like it I told my daughter about it We ( me her my grandson and son in law) want to come check it out this fall Can you recommend a good time to visit and do you know of a bear by place to stay overnight in the motorhome?? Thank you so much for sharing

@@carolmaplesden916 There are a couple places along Ramsey Canyon Rd that have spots for RVs. I think one is called Ramsey Canyon RV Park. It's a popular canyon, and I imagine they are often fully booked. If you Google "Ramsey Canyon Sierra Vista RV camping" or something like that you'll find other places, too. The first few weeks of November tend to be when the best colors are showing. In the fall you can call the Preserve directly and the person who answers the phone will be able to tell you how things are looking at that point in time. Enjoy!🍁

He quickly replenished the blood he lost via a Guinness or two.🍺 🍀

And he said it with such a straight face😂

Beauty everywhere you look!

It's a unique and beautiful wonderland.

And just after that, the classic "Ich habe meine Handschuhe verloren!"
