Paso John Gardner trip

For those who do the O and Q treks, you have to summit the Paso John Gardner at 1,200 meters,

which is the toughest part of the trail (but not as tough as the Huemul Circuit!). This is another chance to see the Southern Patagonian Ice Field from a hiking trail, and you’re next to it pretty much all day after the pass. I even got a rainbow to guide my way. It’s also the only way to see the Grey Glacier from above, so if you want to hike next to a famous glacier all day, you’ve got to do the O! We got an early start, since we were a little anxious about the level of difficulty of the Paso John Gardner. The morning hike was beautiful as we walked through forest and alongside clear snow-melt rivers. We came to a small glaciar that fed a small lake and heard a crashing sound, followed by a chunk of glaciar and snow falling into the lake! The video doesn´t do it justice but we will try to post it here.
