Mountains are the earth trying to reach the sky. They inspire us to climb and conquer them, gaze upon them in awe and relish their splendor.
There is much to see and do in Patagonia, but when many think of this area, they think of Torres del Paine National Park and the 3 granite towers known as the Paine Towers.

Today is a crystal clear sunny day. We can see every snow covered peak and tower perfectly. We see them from every angle and look on in respect for their grandeur. The wind is incredibly strong. It whips your hair through the air and beats on your face; It throws you around and sends you back and forth! At times you wonder if you will be thrown from the path! I shout as loudly as I can, yet no one hears as it is taken with the wind...
...it makes me laugh...
How glorious.
