This is in Los Glaciers N.P.

I was hiking to Grey Glacier in Torres Del Paine National Park, Chile and walked off the trail a little bit and ran into this beautiful waterfall.

Me hiking in Torres Del Paine N.P.  Those are "The Horns" behind me...

This day I covered over 25 miles... long day.  50lb pack and lots of climbing up and down. 



Puerto Moreno Glacier

This is a view of Fitz Roy...(the highest peak in the background) from about 50 miles away!


Cerro torre

 

Cerro Torre (sharp peaks in background) are usually visible only 30 days out of the year due to clouds that usually surround them!  Yeah!!!

 

above, Mt. Fitz Roy in the background. The peak is covered by clouds. In this pic I am hiking to the base of it (Laguna de los tres)... Itīs 3,000 ft climb to the up close, stunning views of Mt. Fitz...which happen to have 2 (donīt know why they say "tres") beautiful turquoise lakes at the base, along with waterfalls... the whole deal...  The view from here (pic 2, above) is the most beautiful I've ever seen. WOW!

 

Yes...that is a steak on, or should I say covering my plate. I ate about 1/2 of it. Stuffed . . .

For this trek you have to take 30 minute boat ride through a huge glacial lake...=)

glacier anyone?

Parasailing

 

This is me at glacier Gray. Chunks of ice in background that have fallen off the glacier.
