Trip to the "Riggi" or... "wow, those are mountains!"

Melinda and I decided to get out of Zurich for the day, so Melinda consulted our "Switzerland Rough Guide" and planned out a trip for us to the top of a mountain called the "Riggi". We took a train from Zurich that went along the shore of Lake Zurich, then along Lake Zug, then finally came to the town of Arth-Goldau. From there we took a tram for about 30 minutes to the top of the "Riggi" which is a mountain of about 1860 meters (approx 6000 ft). The views were spectacular, as you can see in the pictures.....
