Today is what I'm hoping would be the hardest day. 7.5 miles doesn't sound so bad - does it? How about climbing from 9800 to 13776 feet and back down to 12500? Now, that adds a new complexity to 7.5 miles. It was difficult, but it was worth every step and both blisters. Today I felt like I had accomplished something. It was tough both physically and mentally. I would not trade it for anything in the world. They say today is the hardest day of the Inka Trail. See the path? This is one of things that makes it difficult. The trail is not even - lots of uneven stones and many many steps. I'm still amazed at the porters. They carry our clothes, food, tents, cookware and even propane for cooking. I won't mention that they are much faster than us.
