To edelweiss in the mist

Wednesday we set off for Trift. It was a bit cloudy but the cooler temperatures were welcome for the trek up. The trail is less than a mile to edelweiss and somewhere around 1100 ft elevation! 
And up and up and up! Interesting sights with the clouds moving. Often you couldn't see a thing!
Cute little snail on the trail. 
We hiked along the waterfall pretty much the whole hike. 
A couple bridges were quite helpful. 
Mom and Jeannie coming to the bridge. 
And up!
Finally edelweiss appeared in the mist. Very welcome sight to take a wee break. 

But we needed o head onward and upward to Trift! 

And idea of our elevation profile. Trift is a bit before the second photo spot.
