Hike to Laguna 69

So yesterday I took a day off of teaching to hike to Laguna 69, the most popular hiking destination in Huaraz. I peaked at over 15,000 feet, which is the highest I have ever hiked. It was difficult, though, as there was a constant steady incline. However, it was so worth it when we got there! So beautiful! I've attached a couple pictures for you all to see.
