Chilly night at Punta del Vacas. Wind calmed shortly after sunset. Hiked 10 miles today with a gradual climb of 1100ft. Still very hot under the towering sun above! Our highlight was the first glimpse of Aconcagua through a side valley. Menacing summit over 13000 ft above us in the distance. Cloudy on top, with what looks like snow falling. Summit forecast calls for snow today and tomorrow. We're glad that we are not planning to be there for another 10 days!
Quote of the day, "Oh...I mean THAT is Aconcagua!"
