Day 4: Long hike to the Torres del Paine

This picture was taken towards the beginning of our day 4 hike, near the shore of Lago Nordenskjold.

Day 4 was definitely our hardest day of hiking. We woke up early to hike 16.6 kilometers before starting the 3 hour climb up to the base of Torres del Paine. (Towers of Pain as I like to call them). The climb to the campsite near the Torres was incredibly hard. It was very steep and their was a 30 - 40 mph wind blowing in our face the whole time, threatening to blow us off of the mountain. But we made it to the campsite and would be rewarded the next morning with one of the special treats that the park had to offer. A sunrise on the Torres del Paine.
