My roommate Jason joined me and Cooper in Zermatt, Switzerland to do a little backpacking. The first day we hiked a couple hours and found a grassy area to camp out right below the Matterhorn. The fire kept us warm…until about 3 in the morning. It wasn’t all bad, though. As I poked my shivering head from my sleeping bag, I saw a cloudless sky lit up by the bright white jagged peak, illuminated by the moon. I enjoyed the view for a minute or so before ducking back into my cocoon of a sleeping bag.
The next day we completed our hike of the Matterhorn trail before heading back down the hill to Zermatt. Headed to Interlaken today, more hiking ahead!
