We took a taxi to the parking lot at the base of the Martial Glacier. Then we skipped the unnecessary chairlift and walked up a ski slope (aka dirt road) to the trail that takes you to "Al Glacier". Regardless of the fast moving fog and clouds, and decreasing temperature, it was a beautiful hike with incredible views all along the way. We had some view of the city of Ushuaia the entire time, including the airport and the harbor and across the Beagle Channel. It's this scene that makes folks stay a week or a year and try to explore the whole thing.
We wandered several side trails, ate our lunch in the rain and then walked back to town (downhill, 3-4 miles). See that squiggly road? That was our road home.
Tomorrow? Still headed (early!) to Tierra Del Fuego National Park. Hope our clothes will be dry by morning!
