Park
entrance
from
El
Amarillo
seems
to
be
my
favorite.
The
walk
to
Ventisquero
is
much
more
difficult
than
the
hike
out
to
the
glacier.
Signage
throughout
all
park
sections
is
inadequate.
For
example,
where
was
the
trail
end
toward
the
glacier
on
the
Volcano
Michimahuida
hike?
Did
the
trail
end
at
the
glacier?
I
hope
not
because
attempting
to
reach
the
glacier
can
be
treacherous
especially
when
crossing
Amarillo
River
currents.
When
returning
from
the
glacier
back
to
Camping
Ventisquero,
it
is
advisable
to
remain
on
the
left
side
of
the
glacial
runoff,
otherwise
hikers
will
not
be
able
to
wade
safely
further
downstream
before
reaching
Camping
Ventisquero.
The
hike
between
Camping
Ventisquero
and
the
glacier
is
flat,
hardly
any
change
in
elevation,
whereas
Sendero
Mirador
is
more
challenging
but
much
shorter.
The
Sendero
Ranita
de
Darwin
is
a
very
short
walk,
which
starts
out
mildly,
and
then
poses
some
degree
of
difficulty.
Anyone
with
apiphobia
might
consider
avoiding
Ranita
de
Darwin
because
bumblebees
have
burrowed
heavily
into
the
second
half
of
the
trail
and
the
wall
bordering
the
path.
They
are
buzzing
everywhere
currently.
Park
employees
in
both
park
sections
are
very
friendly
and
enthusiastic
about
what
they
are
doing.
