Our home is on the road heading west and up to Cajas National Park. We, Craig, myself, a Peace Corps volunteer friend and Sam had a chance to visit while Sam was here visiting in late November. This park is unique in that it is at very high altitude,10,000 - 12,000 ft above sea level. The vegetation is unique to its high altitude, cold and rainy climate. Llamas graze freely, rock formations jut from the grassy, shrub covered mountains and crystal clear lakes abound. Wildflowers grab one´s attention in the stark grey green landscape. We hiked 2 trails before the late afternoon rain caught us and we caught a bus home.
