Here in Denver it’s a sunny Saturday after a week of rain (and actually snow on the last day of school for the semester).
These pictures are continuing the trip to Patagonia from January. El Chalten was our furthest point north. After 3 nights there (I think) we turned around, crossed the border back into Chile with the plan to check out Torres Del Paine National Park the next day.
More Patagonia trip pictures. This was a brief hike from Lago Del Desierto up to Glaciar Huemul. Good find Davy. There was basically no one here.
This all happened in early January. A stroll from town up to the base of the Cerro Chaltén (Fitz Roy) massif. Certainly one of the most scenic hikes of my life. Recommended.
It started snowing on the way down. Bad weather (especially when it is temporary) can be a beautiful. Here’s a bonus video, taken at the request of my brother, and shared here for the two readers of this blog, my parents.
I had never experienced a glacier like this. We put on crampons and spent a few hours walking over the surreal landscape of almost 100 square kilometers of ice.
After the penguins we drove a few hours north (and into Argentina) to the bustling tourist town of El Calafate. Mucho HB’s. The plan was a guided tour of the Perito Moreno glacier.
