Huaraz to Huallanca
On the way it was suggested that I go up on a mountain and look at a glacier.(Pastoruri). I turned in to go up the mountain and after about 20 km of dirt road I came to a gate and a park ranger. He informed me that the road down the opposite side of the mountain was blocked with a landslide. This would increase my distance and time considerably but I decided to go up the mountain and see if I could see the glacier. When I got to the top it's about 16,000 feet in elevation there was snow on the road and clouds covered up the glacier. As I returned down The mountain the sky cleared up and the sun came out. I passed several tour buses taking people up to look at the glacier. It would've been a lot easier to have booked a tour bus but Dumas was determined to ride the bike up there, all for not.
