After hiking 27 km the day before, we figured we'd best wake up and go for a 29 km hike today! The Laguna Torre trail wound its way along a river, through hillside meadows, and forests, showing the first signs of fall. It felt very much like a stroll through Nose Hill or Weaselhead for those familiar with Calgary parks. An early highlight was the best (read most stereotypical) viewing either of us have ever had of a woodpecker, as he hammered away at the bark.
Having received limited information on the hikes, we knew that another 3 km would bring us to another Mirador, but we were not entirely sure what we would get to see or how difficult it would be to get there. A short climb to the ridge led to a long slog up the ridgeline, the toil of the hike offset by the constant panoramic views. We reached the unimpressive end of the trail when we happened upon the sign that to us said 'Congratulations! You're now in danger!' (from falling rocks).
