Dear Reader (2025-01-19)
The W Trek is shaped roughly like a flat-bottomed W. I walked the route from the W’s right side to its left side (east to west). In today’s post you and I will walk the relatively short distance from the bottom of the left leg to the top of that same leg.
Notes on Photos
~ 1 – For a sense of scale, the distance from my location here, to a lookout where the 4th image was captured and back to my night’s accommodation (circled location – center right) is over 3 hours. This image also illustrates the idea that just because I can’t see the trail, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Oh, and the route is not along the lakeshore.
~ 1,2,3 – You and I are looking at a finger of the Southern Patagonian Field where it meets Lago Grey.
~ 1, 2, 3, 4 – Furthest, Far and Far, Closest
~ 5 – A slowly disintegrating iceberg in Lago Grey
~ 6 – If a bird goes to the trouble of getting ready for its closeup I will oblige
~ 7, 8 – Changeable weather
Distance 12k ish, Elevation Gain and Loss yes, point to point.
