The Mighty Matterhorn

More than 40 years ago I rode the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland (I just barely made the height limit and was ecstatic!). And today I saw the real thing! It stands as a beacon from the main street in Zermatt. How proudly it oversees the mortals down below. . .
The Matterhorn from my hotel balcony.
The view garnered my avid attention.
Me at 12,688 ft. On top of the world!  
Highest elevation I have been on land.

The Matterhorn, 14,691 ft.
Mont Blanc, France, 15,781 ft, highest point in Europe.
