“The hills are alive…” That was the song that came to mind as we crested the first of two steep grades onto a level valley.
Today’s hike took us up about 2,300 feet over 7 km (4.5mi) but the last mile was 1,000 feet of vertical elevation. There was an option to ride a horse most of the way to the Laguna Azur so 5 folks chose the ride although Mike’s horse was a bit ornery and he ended up walking all the way.
Laguna Azul was formed and filled by a glacier. The water broke through at some point to create a beautiful waterfall which we found to be a beautiful backdrop for photos of the group. The Laguna itself was very pretty and we had hopes of seeing an avalanche during our lunch break on this warm day but no luck.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather these past two days!
