Upper Mustang, Nepal To embark on our trip to the Upper Mustang we first needed to get from Kathmandu to Pokhara where we would catch our flight. We hopped into a hired car and rode the dusty, bumpy road to Pokhara. Dust and exhaust from the trucks around us filled the air. We covered our faces with bandanas and settled in for the ride. Large trucks from India ship good through Nepal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510275774868-UGA6SJ0ZAD833016A442/20161114_IMG_1273.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal After an evening in Pokhara we boarded a small plane to fly to Jomsom where we would begin our trek to the Upper Mustang. We were lucky to find a weather window as our fist flight had been canceled due to winds. As we flew the ground cover quickly changed from lush rich green to a dry and arid desert.. I watched the shadow of our plane dance on the land below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510275791716-8YD843J775AIJYC285IC/20161114_IMG_1276.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal We quickly unloaded our plane to prepare for the next flight. We arrived late in the tourism season and many local people were headed south for the winter. Jomsom is part of the popular Annapurna Trek that crosses Thorung La Pass. Our trek is north of the popular route into the remote region of the Upper Mustang. In the background the distant peak of Dhaulagiri can be seen. Dhaulagiri 8,167 m / 26,795 ft.

In the lower regions at the start of our trek the towns were surrounded by a patchwork quilt of different grains, vegetables, and apple trees.

This morning we had received permission to continue our trip into the restricted area of the Upper Mustang. The Upper Mustang opened to tourism in 1992 but only allows several thousand visitors per year. The area was a kingdom until 2008. Until recently, not many people traveled to mustang. However, the road is nearly completed and is currently accessible to 4wd vehicles which is increasing the amount of people who can visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510276626563-LR5HJR9HTFQKJF6WBUKG/20161116_IMG_1393.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Aaron and Lakpa rest during our walk to Chele. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510276652907-VO0LUQSQFYO84BIG9VFA/20161116_IMG_1397.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Cooking Utensils. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510276680630-FU3OZX3I2F4VPUI88VOW/20161116_IMG_1400.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal The Kaligandaki River valley began as rolling hills and as we continued walking further up the valley the landscape soon became etched by water and weather. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510276858116-FDNBJ2QLF214WETVMH3M/20161116_IMG_1405.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Spires of stone and sand towered precariously along the roadside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510276884555-69FM60CQQQN7KNZ254ET/20161116_IMG_1408.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Towers of sand and stone stood like small sandcastles you build as a child.

It was a pleasure moving away from the roads and jeeps, but the hiking was more difficult than what we had done on the road. This is the only photo I had a chance to take while we walked along a steep cliff where the trail was often only wide enough for a few cattle to travel side by side. We could see the Annapurna mountains while hiking high on the ridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277388494-LT8OINJJ5HSF96W4H8IT/20161117_IMG_1462.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Aaron resting and enjoying the view near Samar where we stopped for tea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277415407-DX15D5U954CN8456FXDY/20161117_IMG_1467.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Red, White, and Black chortens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277439962-USCFB1TXPNACQQYR4R1L/20161117_IMG_1468.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal We ran into a film crew making a movie about a motorcycle tour along the road in Mustang.

The Upper Mustang was once an ancient trade routes in Nepal. The northern most portion of Nepal shares a border with China ruled Tibet. For many years this region was considered to be a demilitarized zone and tourism was blocked off. There are rumors that the CIA brought apple trees to Mustang to hide surveillance equipment from China among the groves. Now, the region uses farming, tourism, and trade to prosper. We saw hundreds of goats and sheep being raised to trade in Kathmandu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277589561-8OKLLREZ2F07EOCTCJWC/20161118_IMG_0528.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Sore muscles and a tired haze had me moving slowly this day. I was thankful that we had a shorter trek to Ghami. As we were hiking we saw large piles of stone were stacked in cubes along the valley floor in remote regions between villages. We asked our guide about them and he said that people collect the stones and stack the cubes to be used as building materials in the future. Hundreds of stacks were at the ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277615999-PFQ0SS0JG4OPAMMGBMQP/20161118_IMG_0531.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal An impressive large painted chorten and prayer flags. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277644758-GWS0XI8R5B5AW5OOOZQL/20161118_IMG_0546.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal I was hiking up a pass when a kind monk offered to let me ride his horse to the top. I think he could tell that I was tired and that my fitness was a little lacking in our small group. I declined the nice offer, but he decided to walk with me for a bit to keep me company. He and his travel companion were going north to help care for a monastery for the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277765023-SCSUBRO9FNYP5BXPODZI/20161118_IMG_0564.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Aaron Nash.

During our entire trip I was amazed at the size of the cattle. I grew up on a beef ranch and was used to seeing large, formidable cows. The cows in Mustang stand about waist high and the calves around knee high.

He was eager to share teachings and the history of Buddhism with us and even found a monastery, or Gompa, where we were invited to take a few photos. Each monastery is unique with intricate frescoes of different versions of Buddha, gods, daemons, and the history of the region. The monasteries also have beautifully detailed statues, some ancient, some new. This monastery had showcases of older statues and cloth wrapped Buddhist texts, books, and scrolls. The keeper of this monastary said that 15 monks study in this area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510277979975-I8GCM0P7BPX3BE568U5R/20161119_IMG_0597.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Old buildings made of stone and plaster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278038475-CPSZL9DKMH88GG1PLFKF/20161119_IMG_0598.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Lakpa and Aaron walking past a chorten in town. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278069346-AWQYKI3SX9TL8PM132ML/20161119_IMG_0602.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Village of Ghami. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278098180-HYHYZRK2006F4QH4BE4S/20161119_IMG_0606.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Lovely old prayer wheels. Prayer wheels are often found in town or near monasteries. As you walk, you can spin the wheel and the prayers written inside will be brought to life as you repeat the phrase "Om Mani Padme Hum." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278133584-2PZFOVM6867NCJ5ZVSWO/20161119_IMG_0611.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Pony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278158485-JDC1DES444DMWUR3Y63L/20161119_IMG_0617.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Horses and goats waiting to return to their evening paddock. Each day starts with villages moving their animals from their fenced enclosures in town to open areas to graze for the day. We rarely looked at the time but you could always tell when it was around four o'clock because the animals would begin walking through town back to their homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278184823-GEOS0F9FY6122RMWS349/20161119_IMG_0621.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Chorten and mani stones. As we walked through town a tea house owner invited us to see his prayer room and to join him for tea. I don't have any photos but the space was beautiful. As we drank tea his cat trotted into the house and brought us a gift of a dead mouse. We stayed and talked of the road and the controversy around it. Many people don't want the road because they fear it will change this remote region while others want the road to bring in goods and provide access to supplies. He said that he feels his community would remain the same and not lose their traditions with the new trade route. He welcomed the access to resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278209688-85P6929SN4DZ164QQRLB/20161119_IMG_0647.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal We decided to stay. We found a fantastic guest house with Coca Cola, fries, and a beautiful view. We explored the town in the evening and enjoyed our first hot shower in days. We even had time to air out some of our smelly socks. We finished off the day with an apple pie turnover and some local Mustang Apple Brandy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278241761-7V3DNJ640844550WDSGO/20161119_IMG_0689.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal We met in the kitchen for a quick breakfast before heading out. Blue smoke hung in the air and laughter surrounded us. We left Ghami and crossed a small river where we approached the longest Mani wall in Nepal. Thousands of stones had been placed to build the wall and hundreds were hand-carved with the Om Mani Padme Hum prayer. You could see small scratches on the rock created by a hand chisel to carve the words. Some stones also had Mandalas and the figures of gods and Buddha carved. Horns of sheep and goats were balanced on top of the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278287237-1WWOL4IDGAZL09MH7OLD/20161119_IMG_0700.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal We walked slowly and admired the work and artistry that went into creating the wall. Legend has it that a daemon was slain in the valley and that the Mani wall stretches the length of it's intestines. The heart is at an ancient monastery, Gar Gumpa, and the liver in a chorten near Dakmar. We walked the valley where daemons roamed. The space felt special, holy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278416217-STFO44G05YMZ3E1K5XCO/20161119_IMG_0713.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278386374-264RV5GX37Z8H1XNDN56/20161119_IMG_0707.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278400917-JZUW4ELQMGXABDIDSJO3/20161119_IMG_0708.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278415523-SMZS43J910JBIL9165CQ/20161119_IMG_0716.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278386952-QNR4LVBO0D0C53L4RVXH/20161119_IMG_0704.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278401084-LJ8MRY9FRKLHF7TUE9RR/20161119_IMG_0712.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510278683540-R7XBKMWMSMIBX7L0H106/20161119_IMG_0739.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal We walked up and out of the valley with a long climb over the pass.

The walls were covered with paining of different versions of Buddha. One large wall was covered in showcases, each with an ornate statue of gold and bronze. I was in awe of the statues. The last wall contained books and scrolls of the old palace, the greatest ancient library in the kingdom of Lo. Hundreds of books lay stacked along the wall, each with a beautifully carved cover, wrapped in colorful embroidered cloth. Lakpa opened one book and with the permission of the monk who was caretaker, let Aaron and I touch the cover to our heads. Lakpa read from two of the pages which were written in gold ink which got smaller and smaller as the pages were turned. It would take 4-5 days for one monk to read the book out loud. The books have been aged at 700 years. The monastery was rich in history, culture, and faith. As we finished our tour, the entire town showed up for an evening visit. It was a holy day so many people presented gifts of Katas (blessed silk scarves) to the statue of the high Lama. The women gathered together after their visit and I asked permission to take their picture. They pulled Lakpa into the photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510280027932-A8J7VA48XSH07TU65YH0/20161120_IMG_0835.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal A village man who met us in a prayer room where he detailed the gods to pray to for many children.

We joined our tea house owners in the kitchen for dinner. We shared a bottle of Kukurhi Rum and the host family offered us more refills of Chang than we could handle. Chang is a homemade grain beer of sorts that is thick and cloudy white. It is an honor to be offered chang by a family, but you need to be weary, once you accept the drink, it may not stop coming. I had to flip my cup upside down to tap out of the festivities. In the cold air our bodies began to warm from the inside. Our guide Lakpa refers to Chang as an Extra Blanket for good reason. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510280153605-HJCUCMY21CHN2846AYND/20161120_IMG_0851.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal I love the apples in Mustang.

It is debated to be one of the oldest monasteries in the wold, built in the 8th century. The monastery was covered in carved tiles of stone rather than the typical paintings. The statue room had a small, naturally occurring carving, and statues of important Lamas. The monk who was acting as the care taker invited us to sit with him for tea and cookies before we left to go back to Charang. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510280807149-ZMVBONH1F9K5610IE33S/20161120_IMG_0874.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal An ancient prayer wheel that is split.

We stayed an extra day to tour the artist area where painters studied 10 years to paint Mandalas and Thankas. We toured a museum, the Thupchen Gompa with impressive large statues of four protectors of the directions, inside were equally massive statues. Large wall paintings accompanied the statues and a vaulted ceiling added to the enormity of the space. We were able to view several restoration projects in progress to repair some of the ancient paintings. We next visited the Jampa Monastery where a single 50' Buddha statue sits in a room surrounded by 108 mandalas. Parts of the walls had fallen down and were marked for restoration. Mandalas are my favorite. I could have sat there all day. Unfortunately, I was hit by a quite severe stomach bug and was in bed for the rest of the day. Aaron went on a day hike the buildings atop the hills across from Lo Manthang while I finished a book and started a second. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1510280928248-WAB69U8UVORDT0RHTJAC/20161123_IMG_0940.jpg Blog - Upper Mustang, Nepal Mustang = happiness.

This morning we packed our bags and prepared ourselves for a day of driving. The plan, to take a private jeep down with two other travelers. The reality, we squeezed into the community jeep with a total of 10 adults and one child. After some negotiating, Lakpa was able to trade the old man on his lap for a very small child. The road was bumpy, rutted, windy, narrow, covered in ice, areas of rockfall. Our driver kept us moving along the road.

During our visit to the monastery, we had the privilege of attending a session of prayer where we sat while the monks chanted prayers and prepared offerings. We presented a silk kata to the Head Lama of the monastery and he blessed us for our continued journey by placing a small piece of wood on our heads and draping the silk around our shoulders. We sat and listened to the chants. The chamber where the monks prayed had hundreds of beautifully painted frescos and thousands of delicately carved images in the wood panels that made up a tiered sculpture in the center of the room. We stayed maybe half an hour and it wasn't enough time to take in all of the beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494820159042-WNPSP03RZVGO21TSAT80/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek Grain by grain the mandala is formed.

Ambrose and Russ typically hiked ahead of me and waited periodically for our group to come together. Our guide Lakpa was typically in my line of sight to make sure I didn't fall too far behind. At one point we were hiking through a very small village and I hiked past Lakpa as he was talking to someone. I met up with Russ and Ambrose and we waited. Eventually, we backtracked to find our lost guide. When we met him, he said that he had run into his brother in law and that we should join him for tea. What was a quick stop turned into one of the most fascinating conversations I've ever been a part of. Lakpa's brother in law is Khenpo, a high rank of Lama and does Tibetan text translation and Nepal Studies at Harvard. We sat for three hours as he let us ask him questions about Buddhist Philosophy and history. His travel companion, Ariel Lewin, was doing research for a book about how people traveled through the Everest valley, a spiritual and geographic history. We sat and drank yak butter tea as we spoke about compassion, morality, energy transfer, powerful thinking, giving up selflessness, connecting with loved ones to exchange compassion, how belief should be based in logic, and many more topics.

Mist rolled into the valley obstructing the views of the peaks as we hiked, but we still felt small among the foothills flanking the mountains.

After 7 days of trekking, my two changes of clothes became a bit rank. Without taking into consideration the temperature, I attempted to wash one change of clothes and some extra socks and underwear in the cold, cold river. My fingernails were purple as I scrubbed away a week's worth of perspiration. I hung my clothes in vain to attempt to dry them. In the end, I collected the slightly frozen items and placed them in my room for the night. In Loboche the temperatures dropped to the point that we had to knock the ice off of the toilet rim before sitting down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494821543395-2JWK8A3VY95XEKGMU8TM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek The trek home. While in Loboche I began showing signs of being impacted by the altitude. I had woken up around 3am with the worst headache of my life. I was nauseous. I knew right away that I would not be hiking farther. I cried. The rest of my group continued up to Kalapatthar and to the Everest Base Camp. I stayed in Loboche and began taking Diamox. I had hoped I would get better. I tested my oxygen level and it was steady around 74. The lowest dip it took was to 65. Not a good sign. I met one of our porters and began the trek down the valley. The best way to treat altitude sickness is to go down. We walked slowly. My headache persisted for a while but began to reduce quickly as we approached Pheriche. Later that day, I met Russ and Ambrose as they returned from their trip to Kalapatthar. I was feeling better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494821468453-G4HRJYFB6NB2UTX0EGD4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek Porters become sillhouetted as the sun moves behind a peak. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494821505797-DNIWZRTS6GE1TVN395PO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek A small helicopter can be seen in the far right.

Many of our evenings were spent in the communal areas of tea houses. We sat together and talked about the day, the sights and experiences. We ate together and often spent time reading.

She fed us boiled potatoes that we peeled and dipped into a spicy sauce with some green herbs. It was delicious and quite fun to peel apart the still steaming potatoes. She had plastic tubs of homemade rice beer called Chaang. It is thick and has the look of an off-white milk. In Nepal, Chaang is fermented from the local grain. You can find it made from rice, barley, millet. When a host offers you a cup, you should be prepared to drink several refills as it is custom for the host to offer many glasses as a show of generosity. Our porters, Baun and JP, joined us. JP is 25 with two daughters, and Baun is 31 with three sons. They have been working as porters since they left school. Their speed was amazing and we rarely saw them while we hiked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494822250448-W1BXG3U4KGS7QF3BYNCH/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek Children returning from school peer through the windows watching us eat potoatoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494822283223-FBUXO7ZHANGM7NMY7GR4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek The stone masons of The Khumbu Climbing Center. Phortse is the location of the Khumbu Climbing Center. The village population is 250 individuals, 80 of who work on Everest, with 73 people who have summited. Two local families donated the land for the Climbing Center and The Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation raised money to help build the school. The Climbing Center will provide a space where Sherpa instructors and Nepal instructors can teach climbing technique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494822316932-8UNDQ87OOOTPBLD9ACJS/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek Brandon Lampley works as a project manager for the Climbing Center but stresses the importance of having the people of Nepal build this space. We ran into Brandon while eating dinner and struck up a conversation about the project he was working on. He spoke passionately about the community in Phortse and his dedication to the workers who were building The Khumbu Climbing Center. The center will continue the ongoing climbing education in the Khumbu Valley. A philosophy I loved speaking to Brandon about was bringing in the tools and resources to a community and asking what you could do for them, rather than stating what he felt needed to be done. He spoke about focusing efforts on supporting Sherpa and Nepal instructors and helping the village by bringing students to stay with the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404810463-8Z7JK89X872IUH71GZN1/20161108_IMG_2818.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404819294-C3SO9VC4ZXB355L19KHV/20161108_IMG_2830.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404827668-KYC9WNYW48WDR8UT8ED1/20161108_IMG_2833.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404828466-7JV57XK5LB462D4BZ93N/20161108_IMG_2840.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404835634-29E72TJN7H6EQIP3GD13/20161108_IMG_2846.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404841789-34DTRX44Z3AO8AQRZJOR/20161108_IMG_2854.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404821813-BQ0ASBJQQJXLXHP0I4XW/20161108_IMG_2825.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1507404841354-W7N7K9RD0JJIKAENYEBO/20161108_IMG_2847.jpg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1494822359733-HWDE6VYYVD7GIU0SJZUH/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Everest Base Camp Trek Stupa aged by the wind and winters stands at the edge of Phortse.

In the past few years, we heard that the sea otters had moved to Chichagof, Island from up in Glacier Bay. When I had guided here in the past we may have seen one or two sea otters in a day. During our trip we saw dozens of otters, many with small babies balanced on their bellies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500232275299-BO4U5A3J66CJFL3DHN1Q/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Whale watching off of Pinta and trying to stay warm.

"It's not a guided trip," became my favorite phrase of the week. My friends were incredible at stepping up to help out in any way that they could and I jokingly used the phrase before giving any advice. My friends are all avid outdoors people who mainly spend their time in the mountains. It was fun to be able to talk to them about the tides, and tips to keep the boats floating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500232736860-C2VT1JRXWBKGIWO5H10Q/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Arie pumping water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500232761227-YE7A5LOL3XQPEAL8W9HM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Icy Strait, Alaska.

We had anticipated camping at Mud Bay for the evening, but decided to continue paddling to make our next day a little shorter in distance. We knew we had a tricky crossing to time and we wanted to give ourselves plenty of space to get it right. We stopped at Mud Bay, checked out the area, and got back into our boats for one of the wettest and roughest sections of the trip. After a few hours of paddling, we found a campsite on the small spit connecting Chichagof Island to Goose Island. We camped on Chichagof with a view of Goose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500232984052-VSS48KRZUE4L9KKPA391/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Coastal Brown Bear tracks. Our campsite near Goose Island had fine sand on the beach. A set of large tracks could be seen above the high tide line. The tracks were softened by rain and were likely a little old. We saw some bear sign, moved our tents a little further down the beach, and camped with caution. Chichagof Island has the highest population of brown bears per square mile. We took many precautions including hanging our food, cooking below the high tide line away from our tents, traveling in groups, and carried bear spray. However, we also realized that in order to camp on this island we would need to be respectful of the local wildlife and make sure that we made it easy for them to travel along the beaches and paths they created. During the night we tried to differentiate possible bear snorts from human snoring - depending on who you ask, both may have been heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500233030845-EIBWR429PSM7M11C4XXU/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Campsite #2.

Flat calm conditions like these are some of my favorite to paddle in. You dance along the top of the water.

You hear the water pull around the paddle as you move through the water, and your breath as you move through a dream-like scene with foggy edges blurred like memories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500233335686-Y6CZN29DAW7MCGMRMWG4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands As we entered Idaho Inlet, we stopped for a short break.

We kept our pace pretty consistent and traveled in a tightly formed group. As we made our crossing, we took a short break to watch whales breaching in the distance. The whales must have been more than a mile away, but with the glassy calm water, and no wind, we could see the white water erupt as their bodies hit the surface in a breach. A few seconds later we heard the boom from the impact the whale made on the water. The group was likely 8 or so whales and they continued breaching, tail slapping, and pectoral fin slapping as we made our crossing. We felt incredibly lucky to have experienced such a large and active group of whales. This experience stayed with us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500233430122-H7Z76YJIYSN9E2RQ9IK5/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Aaron Nash approaching Shaw Island. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500233469219-W3VO65LPWQ8JG0W9V85Q/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands Harbor Seals hauled out on rocks near Shaw Island.

The Inians are like a small cork placed in the bottleneck that connects Cross Sound to the Inside Passage starting at Icy Strait. Large volumes of water are squeezed between the islands during each high tide flood and low tide ebb. Thankfully, the time we were visiting had small tide changes and we made sure to make the crossing during a weak period in the cycle to make the crossing as easy as possible. The water moved quickly as we ferried across Inian Pass and we made it to the opposite shore in good time. This was definitely the moment where I was able to relax as the most difficult section of our journey was now behind us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500233552244-AIRYWFO0R2CZQU7KJZ49/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands When planning our trip I had reached out to Jane and Greg, operators of the Hobbit Hole for permission to come and visit them on their island property. They were old friends I had met though guiding for Spirit Walker Expeditions. Jane and Greg live in a unique spot, in a small protected cove on an island that is placed between Icy Strait (part of the Inside Passage) and Cross Sound on the open ocean. This location makes it particularly tricky to get to with fast and currents that need to be timed well. The currents contribute to a wonderfully dense wildlife population, supplying rich nutrients for wildlife to feed on. We stopped in at the Hobbit Hole and Jane and Greg recommended a nice spot for us to stay for the evening. We were also able to say hello to Zach Brown of the Inian Islands Institute, and education based program that will be taking over at the Hobbit Hole next year when Jane and Greg retire and move on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1500233675335-V051Y2U2YU469MJ8H5S2/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Chichagof Island to the Inian Islands A view of a sea lion haul out in the Inian Islands.

Torres del Paine - The O Trek Hostel in Punta Arenas. Our Patagonia adventure began with a 3am check in at a small hostel in Punta Arenas. In the morning, our group of seven took a bus to Puerto Natales where we stocked up on food, fuel, and wine for an eight day trek through the Torres del Paine National park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1474767416305-F07KQR2HI526565ABNTA/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Pedro was a kind man who supplied us with fuel bottles for our stoves. He walked us through his collection of family photos hanging proudly in his small shop. His family had lived in the area for decades and at one time hunted puma. I asked if I could take his portrait and he happily obliged. He then had each of us pose for a photo with him.

While waiting for our friends to be reunited with their missing packs, we grabbed lunch at the Las Torres Hotel and crashed for a quick nap. We were all surprised by the size of the hotel and soon tried to reset expectations for our wilderness experience. This was my first time backpacking in a hut style trekking loop. I'll admit that the little stores along the way were quite nice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1472443531880-XOIFGBYUS36Q997NPCCI/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek The Torres del Paine trek is quite famous. Most people choose to do a large segment of the trip called the "W." We decided to add on a few extra days and kilometers to complete the route as the "O." We started the hike out on simple dirt road which narrowed to a path, rolling over the open countryside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1472443624361-ESJODBZFYOWG2FQ4I3SI/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Camp Serón.

Along the "O" trek, we got to see some incredible areas missed by most of the visitors to the park. One of my favorite sections of hiking was along Paine Lake towards Dickson. The water was a soft glacial blue/green and was framed by snow capped ridgelines and peaks. The river feeding into the lake became almost white at times when the sun was covered. The trail meandered through the lake valley and edged by rocks covered in delicate green lichen and round shrubs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1472444757042-PNLJKLAYZDVAF1MPHLJR/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Martha and Rachel keeping the excitement high while hiking the trail to Dickson Shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1472445284977-22MSCARJBYECI8E6LCA8/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Trail to Dickson Shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1474776637299-X1I25EB1CBNIOOX8AB8A/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Callie and Aaron setting up camp at Dickson Shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1472445519231-C5YAI21SGLBZ9INGTHTJ/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Dickson Glacier and Lake.

Day 1 of 2016 we picked up out packs and headed for the pass. I had caught a terrible sinus cold several days earlier and walked slowly while battling my restricted breathing.

The Southern Patagonia Ice Field is the second largest contiguous ice field in the world. The glacier was huge. The sprawling sheet of ice was textured with crevasses and debris. We had the rest of the day to walk in it's presence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1474506547756-ZURZC39BBBU5A7VB6OXI/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Aaron snapping photos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50a6e321e4b06605c5cffd63/1472531537390-4MVV1AH9QUVRBDHK9UJ5/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Torres del Paine - The O Trek Lunch break at Los Guardas.
