This one starts from a lovely overlook of the Paine River (more of a narrow lake) that drains south into the much larger, Lago Toro. The trail climbs moderately and then, after contouring along the south side of the hill, gains elevation in earnest.
As the trail levels out briefly before the final climb to the lookout, a small, alpine lake appears to the north, and the mountains, with the Cuernos Peaks on display, raise strikingly on the northern horizon.
After the final push to the lookout, the massive Lago Toro is in full view to the south, with commanding views of the surrounding area.
Building upon the nice views from our initial hike (which we could observe from the viewpoint), the views were just getting better, the closer we approached to the TDP mountains.
There are several longer hikes that continue on from a junction just below the viewpoint, but we opted for breadth rather than depth on this daytrip, and we had two more, shorter hikes on our agenda. So, we enjoyed the descent back to the TH, with equally lovely views, and headed to our next destination on the day--Mirador Condor! |
