We're up early for our first excursion out of Patagonia Camp, a hike to Mirador Ferrier (Ferrier Lookout). There's great views as we drive North along Lago…
We stop for a photo of the Paine Grande and the Cuernos del Paine.
Some more nice views of the Cordillera Paine as we start heading up the trail to Mirador Ferrier. It's only about 2 miles to the top, but it's over 2,000' of…

Starting to get some nice views of the beach along Lago Gray, where we'll be walking later in the day.
The trail starts getting seriously steep as we get closer to the top. At one point, the trail is equivalent to a 1,600' mile.

The view South at Lago Pehoé and some of the smaller lakes, each flowing from one into the next.

Panorama from the top.

Made it back down. That was a steep descent. Now it's time for lunch, then we'll head over for a quick look at Grey Glacier.

We walk down to the beach of Lago Grey. There's a number of good sized icebergs floating in the lake.
As we walk down the beach, we find some chunks of ice that have washed up to shore from the glacier.
