Today was a real treat after the terrible conditions yesterday. We had bright blue skies and spectacular views over Glacier Gray. The ice appeared more alive below the brilliant sky and seemed surreal in its beauty. Within 5 minutes of leaving camp we came upon a great overlook and stopped for pictures. After this, I eventually caught up with Reto and Petra and hiked with them most of the way. We slowly descended and wound along the “coast” of the glacier and through the woods. At Campamento Los Guardas we took an extended break for lunch and photos. Here we were almost on top of the glacier and took pictures of each other overlooking the jagged edges of the ice. Mike had taken an amazing picture of John here last year and I wanted to do something similar. I’m not sure if we succeeded, but Reto took some great shots for me.

We pulled into Campamento Gray less than an hour later and found a spot along the sandy beach next to the lake. It was nice to have a day of nice weather where we could relax and enjoy the park.
