Sharp erosional edge near Uspallata.
It's impressive how defined it is and how long it goes on for.
Ahhh, one of many mountain pics that just make me feel good.
Snowcapped peaks are beauty in the summer - must have snowed in last week as they weren't quite like that on way out.
Climbing the whole way up the valley.
Small rainbow in the sky.
This donkey or horse didn't make it. Everything feels harsh here.
Nearing the famous mountain. Notice ski lift in background.
Ski "town".
Old outpost on other side of valley.
Rescue helicopter for Aconcogua park.
Not Aconcogua, but the other side of the valley.
That rock is the size of a house.
On a little walking tour at the park entrance.
Aconcogua is hidden today.
Descriptors but no actual view.
Pack horses for gear transfer.
Across the valley.
Donkeys to carry stuff.
Nearer to the border it gets more rugged.
Another "town" in the valley.
The Chilean border side. Note the chairlifts on the right hand ridge in background.
Crossing needs lots of stamps with a rental car.
This was back in Argentina, but worth it. All forms of transportation are game for the city streets.
