Itinerary description
|
As soon as we leave the refuge we find a very beautiful waterfall, all this water comes from Lake Harris that we will find above. We are having a comfortable and smooth climb, we will soon find ourselves with Lake Harris surrounded by mountains, this is the highest point of the route, we go to Lake MacKenzie.
Throughout the climb we see Lake Harris, the surrounding high mountains surround it, when we pass the hill we start the descent, in Harris Saddle we have the option of going up to the Conical Hill peak, but we leave it because the day threatens rain and there are two hours, we have 3 more hours.
We continue halfway up the slope and it starts to rain, we take out the goretex poncho and continue until at a certain moment we make a left turn and we have a beautiful view of Lake MacKenzie, from quite high we have a rapid descent, with its green and blue tones tucked into a forest right next to it is the refuge, from the height everything very beautiful.
