Beginning of the trail to Chirripo

Tree-covered mountains in the early morning

The Crestones lodge in the high altitude paramo

Overgrown vegetation along the trail

La Sabana de los Leones

A creek runs through the plants

On the trail to the summit

On the trail to the summit

On the trail to the summit

On the trail to the summit

A view of Lago del Chirripo through the clouds

At the summit

Not much of a view with the fog and clouds

It's a long way down

Los Crestones

Los Crestones

Los Crestones

Moss on the trees

Withered trees dot the hillsides

Los Crestones watching over the landscape from a distance

Descending through the cloud forest in the mist

Chirripo, Costa Rica

On Top of the Costa Rican World

Once the cloud that's raining over your head disappears

the noise that you'll hear is the crashing down of hollow years
