'''
4 sunny and windless days made this an amazing experience for us. The automn colors were great.
We are hiking with trail runners which made this muddy section harder for us. We would love to use boots for this section if we had a chance.
After a rest day we rented a bike and took the MR on 02B to watch whales and return the same day.
Day 1:
We went straight south at the southern end of Prat st. and skipped 2 km.
The trail was very muddy and snow started to be annoying from approx 300 m alt. Anyway the trail was clear by steps on mud or snow. The snow made everything beautiful and some ponds were even frozen. At some point we saw a beaver diving below the snow.
After the pass it was pretty much CC without a clear trail. A lot of fallen trees (because of the beavers?), a lot of flooded areas. It was hard to follow the GPS tracks so we just hiked where it seemed OK. There are sticks and pink stripes marking the trail from time to time but the path is not good.
Camped at Refugio Beauchef with flat and (almost) dry ground.
Really enjoyed meeting another hiker who already made a fire, and dried our shoes with him.
Day 2:
Same muddy unclear path until we started ascending Monte Betinelli.
The ground becomes dry and the path is clear and easy to follow the trail, and later the stone piles. We really enjoyed the view from the summit of south side!
Camped at (-55.02647, -67.65712). Thanks Mia for the suggestion.
Optional to camp 300 m before with better views, but not perfectly flat ground.
Day 3:
Easy to follow the trail, though it was yet very muddy.
Camped at (-54.98048, -67.79293), quite wind protected and flat.
Day 4:
Easy climb to the pass. We loved the view of the lake and the beagle.
Going down after the like we struggled a little to find the pass due to fallen trees and we were very happy to finally arrive the MR. Traffic was surprising, a car every half an hour+- and we hitched easyli.
Day 5:
After a rest day we rented bikes in the commercial center. 10k clp for a day and you need to return before 9pm.
We rode to (-54.92879, -67.28339) on the MR. It took about 2.5 hours of net riding. We loved the way along the shore. At Punta Euginia we have seen whale glimpses every 10 minutes or so. If you do it we highly recommend taking binoculars.
We had perfect weather so riding was easy.
