Happy New Year from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

I just back into town after two amazing days of hiking up some spectacular mountains. The sunrise on Lincacanbur this morning was probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. This was the highlight of my trip so far. I'm definitely not making it to midnight tonight. We got up at 2 am to start the climb.  I had no issues with the altitude and actually felt great today, even scrambling up boulders at almost 20,000 ft.  I'll post more on that tomorrow but I wanted to post some shots of Atacama.  I am at least 75% confident that my guide company has set everything up and I am leaving on january 2nd for Uyuni including a 3 day tour of the salt flats, geysers, and lagoons on the way...
