Today I hiked up the Valle de Franca hoping that the weather would clear and I would catch a glimpse of the Cuernos del Paine. It was really nice to hike without a heavy pack and I made it to the Mirador (5.5 km) in 2 hours. But it continued to rain and as I gained elevation, it snowed. Just like the last time I hiked in Hatcher Pass, AK in the summer!
When I got to the top, the sun began to stream through and I was granted a misty view of the Cuernos. Afterwards, I returned to Campamento Italiano to pack up camp and hike to Los Cuernos (7.5 km). Daily total was 18.5 km mas o menos. I briefly thought about hiking to the next campground, but it was already 4:00 and I didn´t know if I had another 4 hours of trekking left in me.
