Santa Cruz Trek in Pictures

Alpamayo (the peak on the right) at sunrise.

The scenery on the way to the high point of the trek.

The high point of the trek and Talluraju in the background.

Us, with Talluraju behind.

A condor flying above us. These birds are like small airplanes. They have wingspans of 15+ feet! We were incredibly lucky to see a group of them fly right over us.

The Quebrada Santa Cruz.

One of the donkeys that carried our gear.

Kim walking along the Quebrada... lindazo!
Alpamayo in the background and mountains across the valley in Kim´s glasses.

Lupine... the flower and the person (Kim´s outdoor school name).

Hee hee-- love the Lupine. If only the little outdoor schoolers could see their hard core counselor now...

Love to you both!!
