Day 7 Fotos from the Cerro Torre Hike and Bahía Tunel
| The clouds were heavy over Cerro Torre, obscuring the view. Many of us decided not to do the entire hike and stopped at the mirador. Nine people did the whole hike but I wasn't one of them. This is an image from the hike looking at the Cretaceous strata to the northeast of El Chalten. | |
 |
A nearly perfect roche moutonée sits in the Río de las Vueltas valley just outside of El Chalten. |
| Raúl Mansilla signals that it's time to climb aboard the Green Machine and head to Bahía Tunel for those who want to go. |  |
 |
At the turnoff to Bahía Tunel there is a broad view of Lago Viedma and the mountains on its south side. |
 |
The Cretaceous strata in the mountains to the north of Bahía Tunel exhibit great fold-thrust belt structures. |

Wendy, Jill, Jackie, and Kim have a snack at the Bahía Tunel port house. Unfortunately, the boat to the glacier goes just once a day. |
