I’ve always been intrigued by Patagonia and what must be wonderful expeditions there. How, if time and money were of no concern, I’d sign up for an adventure in a heartbeat.

For those of us stuck many miles and dreams away, the New York Times has as article that shows us Patagonia in a New Light.

I have been trekking all over the world, from the High Sierras to the Himalayas, and no place I’ve been has, at such a low altitude, the jaw-dropping mountain scenery of Patagonia, whether in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina or any number of other wilderness preserves.

Makes me want to grab my backpack, tent and gear and head off for a great adventure.
