Walking around Elm

A beautiful late afternoon in Elm.  Looking east in Glarnerland.  Piz Segnes is the prominent peak in the picture at ~ 10,200'.


Segnes Pass is just to the right of the peak at ~ 8600'.  The jagged peaks to the right of the pass are called the Tschingelhorner.

Piz Sardona is behind Piz Segnes.  This mountain range is considered a "Tectonic Arena" as it shows how mountain ranges are formed.  The tops of the peaks are older rock (African continent) with younger rocks in a layer underneath (European continent).
