Hiking the Inca Trail

We've been so tired, we're falling behind on our blog. The hike on the Inca trail was more difficult than most of us expected. It was 8 miles and expected to be 6 hours, but took our group 8. It was extremely warm, with an evaluation climb on so many rock steps, plus the altitude makes the climb more exerting. The Inca's were no more than 5 feet tall So it was difficult to understand why the rock step ups were so large.
