Cotopaxi
Looking down, a little more than halfway up
Looking straight up to the summit from the refuge
The hike was short but not easy. In the middle picture you can see white spots down the hill in the distance. These are the cars in the parking lot, where our trek began. We made it to Refugio Jose F. Ribas, all 26 of us. It looks so easy, until you start walking. The air is so thin, sometimes you must stop to breath. Everyone I saw coming down the volcano wore climbing boots and carried pick axes. We were a motley crew in tennis shoes, hoodies, alpaca hats and ponchos.
