Argentina!

About a year and a half ago my dad and I got excited about a hike in Patagonia. It was a pipe dream then, but finally I decided that if we didn't go soon it would be too difficult. Fortunately the summer season corresponded with Eli being at just about the perfect age (7-8 months)...just old enough to be interactive and engaged and LOVE the outdoors, but also not quite mobile enough to manage being carried for a few hours at a time.

It took 35 hours to get to our cabin in El Chalten, Patagonia. The following day we began our trek for 4-days. After the trek we spent 6-days in El Chalten staying in a cabin and doing daily excursions to explore the glaciers and the other trails in the area. We then transferred to El Calafate to see the Perito Moreno glacier and finally to Buenos Aires for a week.

Here is a slide show with some captions of our entire trip!
