We&#8217;re pretty lucky to have stumbled upon something of that stature for the site. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another thing about Jungraujoch. Two-plus miles of elevation is a lot of elevation. A lot, a lot. The highest elevation I&#8217;ve ever lived at is about 804 feet. Depending on the source, we currently live at 43 feet or 48 feet. (And those five feet are important, right? That&#8217;s almost a 12 percent increase.)<\/p>\n<p>But up there, on Jungfraujoch, anything more than walking around can make you feel a little lightheaded. Your lips will go purple. You will measure your steps. You&#8217;ll occasionally lean on a wall. But it&#8217;s all worth it for these views. <\/p>\n<p>And I could write more about the views. I could write hundreds of words. I could torture us both with poetry about them. But, instead, here are 15 photos. Enjoy. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june60.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june61.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june62.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june63.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june64.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june65.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june66.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june67.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june68.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june69.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june70.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june71.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june72.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june73.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june25\/june74.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Those views are pretty great, no?
