Hiking up Karren

Even though the weather is not the best these days, we wanted to get outside and do something active. My dad works here: Karren Seilbahn Dornbirn. It is a nice cable car that goes up a mountain at the edge of the city Dornbirn which is about 25 minutes from our house. Ben decided he wanted to hike up the mountain and ride the cable car down. We have not done this in a while so I thought it was a great idea...
Lilly still has a runny nose and we left her at home with my mom and my niece Alissia. For Finn we packed a great backpack carrier that my parents have.
Ben agreed to carry Finn first and we set off. There are several ways to hike up, but we picked the fastest or also the most straight way. Which basically leads straight up the mountain. What were we thinking? It just goes straight up and is crazy steep.
Somewhere in the middle we switched and I took Finn. I would like to say that Misty would be proud of me. This was some serious workout and I was really happy once we were at the top after 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Finn had a great time and always enjoys riding the cable car or Baehnle as he calls it.
We will do this more often to get ready for some serious hiking in the Alps this summer.
