Day 12-15: Los Glaciares, Patagonia, Argentina

On Monday, April 3, we drove to El Chalten, a small town just inside the northern end of Los Glaciares Park. For four days, we hiked in this area, staying two nights at a place just outside of town and two nights in town. Unfortunately, the weather during this time consisted mostly of rain and occasionally very high winds. Fortunately, these were the nights we were not camping. We never did see the main attractions of the park, a mountain named Fitz Roy and a rock spire called Torre, but we still had some great hikes and enjoyed the glaciers and mountains that were close enough to see and the beautiful fall colors. The second day was a bit of an adventure, but I will let Dee tell the story from her side. Here are a few pictures:
