Grey to Campamento Italiano

Trekking Day 6: We had a nice sleep in this morning. Today was going to be shorter and we were unsure if we would take a rest day. Anne and Sean had decided to stay another night a Campamento Grey and hike up closer to the glacier. Their plan was to exit the park the following day. After much consideration, we decided to keep our momentum and press on to the next camp. It would only be 7 hours of hiking on relatively flat terrain. With our legs still fatigued from the prior day, we still felt all the hills. The skies were clear and the sun was out making this the best weather of our trip. The trails were quiet and we only saw handful of people. It was a very nice recovery day. We arrived at Campamento Italiano just before dark. Surprisingly, this campsite was the coldest one yet even though we were in a valley. This site was our least favourite but it was free so we can’t complain. With a quick dinner of lentils, rice and salami we retreated to our tent to the warmth of our sleeping bags for a bit of reading before bed.Read more
