Ecuador 2014: Cotopaxi

Ecuador 2014: Cotopaxi

Hiking up Cotopaxi was fun! It's the second highest peak in Ecuador and is an active volcano. It was my first time above 16,000 ft. above sea level. Our guide set a good pace for us as we walked (slowly) up to the glacier line. Pacing is key. If you go out too fast you push your body into anaerobic (easy to do with the thin air).
