Hiking in El Chalten

(photo by Dave)

We pulled ourselves away from our ongoing Scrabble competition, ditched the ipad, and began our three day, two night hiking and camping trip.  We began on the Torre (tower in English) mountain trail towards Lago Torre, camped near the glacier next to a raging river that fed from the glacier.  The following day we traversed over another mountain towards the Fitz Roy mountain range where we camped our second night overlooking the jagged mountains where we were met with a dramatic sunset.  Unfortunately, both of my camera batteries died midway through the second day, and the iPad can't read Dave's memory card (although we're working on that), so the photos are mainly from the first day. We got some AMAZING ones on Dave's camera so stay tuned for those. Words keep escaping us to describe this incredibly gorgeous area.  Therefore, we'll let the photos do the talking.

  1. I completely understand when you say, "Words keep escaping us to describe this incredibly gorgeous area." Although, sublime comes to mind. :-)
