Hiking in Cajas National Park

Last weekend we met up with a bunch of retirees living in Cuenca for a hike in Cajas National Park. Most of them have packed up and moved here for the foreseeable future. After years of traveling with 20 somethings and then families, it was nice to hear the stories of those in their 60s and 70s who are still traveling around and hiking peaks. This peak was 14,000ft. As Ethan stayed back to chat with, well everyone, Logan raced to the top with her new dog friend.

My favorite quote of the day comes from John, a British man who worked as a photojournalist around the world. When asked what his favorite place to visit was, he replied, “I suppose wherever I was heading next.” Many of the photos below were taken by John.
