Patagonia Trip Files or Patagonia in 7 Mins

In November 2016, I did a two-week trek through the wilds of Patagonia. We covered more than 100 miles completing the "W" trek in Torres del Paine, Chile and hiking up to Laguna De Los Tres and the base of Mount Fitzroy (the logo for the Patagonia clothing company) in Los Glaciares National Park in El Calafate, Argentina - home to the massive Perito Moreno Glacier.  We ice climbed on the glaciers, kayaked to the glaciers and piled into a rough-hewn Refugio every night exhausted, sore, bruised and spent.  And often wet and wind blown.  It was an amazing experience.  It is some of the most beautiful, wild and pristine land I have ever seen.  Conditions are ever changing but always challenging.  Patagonia is a treasure that needs to be preserved and cherished.  My 15-year-old daughter took my GoPro footage and made a short video as a Christmas present for me.  I am sharing it with you.  Please forgive her spelling mistake on the opening cut.  She is amazingly creative and a tech guru but spelling will be a lifelong journey for her.

Hope you enjoy it. https://youtu.be/7mqOwEoNxtI
