So on the first beautiful day, we donned our big packs and headed up the trail. The trail in question, Laguna Torres, is the usual series of glacial stair-steps leading to the big ex-glacial clearing/forests. Not wanting to over-do it, we stopped at kilometer 5. The scenery was as advertised, breath-taking, world-class, etc.

| Rio Fitz Roy |
 |
| The trail; the scenery beginning to unfold |
 |
| First good view of Cerro Solo and its hanging glacier |
 |
Fitz Roy begins to peek out; it disappears from view for much
of the rest of this hike |
 |
| At 3.4k high, not all that high; not climbed until the 50s |
 |
| Waterfall at the first mirador |
 |
| Cerro Torres, right, begins to peek out |
 |
| The trail passes through a variety of gnarly woods |
 |
| Cerro Solo again |
 |
| It's Cerro Torre again you can't take your eyes off |
 |
| Neighbors and glacier; behind is the huge Viedma glacier, more an icefield |
 |
| As we are heading back, clouds roll in |
