I would like to post some of the pics Nathan took while in Peru in July of 2016. He was having such a great experience with his cousin Jensen. He referred many times to feeling happy and after a specific night in a warm spring lost in the mountains he wrote, "I AM a child of God". Separating himself from the negative triggers and temptations he was so familiar with at home, he had a month of stretching himself with new cultures and experiences. In his writing he celebrates the experience and expresses his feelings of appreciation for family and friends.

Probably a few miles after leaving camp that morning.  This is a close up of what a good portion of the trail from Marion Point to Tilted Mesa looks like.  Taking a break on the way down at Tilted Mesa. The farthest creek in view below is Nankoweap Creek, and the destination for camp that night. Elevation descent is 6,800' here to 3,400' at the creek. Nankoweap Creek, up close. Setting up for n
