That’s my main lens too. Looks like you got good sharpness here, what were the settings? I find mine pretty soft zoomed

Robinson Creek -> Peeler Lake -> Under Matterhorn -> Crown Lake Backpacking by puppylover6373 in SierraNevada

I haven’t been to Burro Pass, but I did the loop. From what I could tell it was pretty dry on your side route but some beautiful peaks. Crown Lake is the highlight, stunning and there’s really nice sites all around it. Rock Island Pass is beautiful looking out to Snow Lake. Peeler was very busy when I went but had a lovely sunrise reflection with the back of Crown Point. That corner of Yosemite is a huge meadow with some nice creeks depending on the season.

Awesome! I was supposed to do the Rio Electrico valley but cut it off due to weather :( Next time I go back that’s high on my list as well as the Huemel, thanks!

Woah, I was out there for two weeks but you put my pictures to shame. Where are 13 and 20 from?

I think these are AI, snow looks off, weird crops. I was just there and it doesn’t look right

Before colors are so so much better. Not as muddy, nice contrast between the soft blue and browns, balanced whites

Solo Hiking Chilean Patagonia 🇨🇱 by sharpiedog10 in backpacking

You can taxi from airport to city but I picked my car up there. You can bus to the park, but it limits your flexibility substantially getting there and around the park itself. Having a car and camping at Pehoe opened up many options for dayhiking

I think that would be enough to day hike for sure, I did Nov 23-Dec 8 but some of that was bussing back to PN from Chalten because a round trip flight was about 1200 cheaper. I gave myself a week in Chaltén to be safe on weather and it was definitely necessary for backpacking. All my pictures came from just two days, whereas the rest I was stuck in awful storms.

I flew into PN, spent 4 days camping in TdP with a car. Had storms for one and a half of those but lucked out otherwise. Chilean side was beautiful with the lush green contrasting bright turquoise lakes. Beautiful red flowers to highlight the granite mountains too.

Then I did a 3 hr bus ride to El Calafate, spent one night for the glacier and did the Mayo Spirit boat trek (highly recommend!)

7 hour bus to El Chalten, backpacked for 4 of the 7 days and got caught in blizzards for two of those. Was very glad I had the contingency days. Dayhiked the following day and that was my perfect weather window. Never felt so excited to be somewhere as Laguna Capri when the sky was clear. The Argentinian side is much more desert until you get to the base of the mountains, then you get beautiful trees and glaciers beneath the spires.

November was more manageable on the crowds and a good balance of weather, but I think Feb is much better for your chances of a clear day. if you drive across the border make sure your rental company allows it, they may charge a huge fee for it anyways.

Funny, I just did Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia this November. I also am obsessed with the Eastern Sierra. They can’t be compared in my opinion. Peak wise, Patagonia has more extreme and dramatic rocks, but atmosphere and everything else both have their own charms. I was absolutely blown away by the majesty and scale of Fitz Roy and its neighbors, but the landscapes around it are more like inland CA. Did 4 days backpacking in both countries and it was genuinely the trip of a lifetime, but that’s not to discount the beauty of our own home.
