Matterhorn Bobsleds

I’ve had this shot for a few months now. It’s one of those that I wanted to wait on and it just so happens that after a wonderful evening at Disneyland yesterday, I found myself strongly inspired to go for it. I have always found this pathway to the Matterhorn intoxicating, with the luminous lamps bathing the walkway. The waterfall glistens faintly at night like a silk ribbon dancing in the whimsical night air. With all the warm, gentle glowing, the Matterhorn itself majestically stands, with all the confidence the first Disneyland peak ought to have.

The Matterhorn Bobsleds have been around for a while, but they are still one of the best rides around.  There are so many facets to this mountain that make it the “E” Ticket attraction that it is.  My favorite part of the Matterhorn is charging past the waterfalls.  I know they are coming but I always find them catching me by surprise.

The Matterhorn is my first memory of Disneyland.  Even before parking or setting foot on Disney pavement, looking for the mountain peak that contrasts so sharply the Anaheim skyline marked the beginning of a magical day for making memories.  I find myself still searching for that peak when we get close to the park.  And when my eyes catch sight of it, it feels strangely familiar to coming home.  As with many things, one of the very best times to see it is when the sun’s concluding rays kiss it ever so gently goodnight.
