Keeping our tent in the same site, we hiked up the "45-minute" hike to the mirador (or vista point) for the Torres -- it was beautiful, but the path was steep and rocky at the end. We lost Steph somewhere along the way, too. Apparently, she asked how long the trail was, found that it was much longer, and decided to stay put as the rocks were making her nervous... But that conversation was with a stranger (probably a very confused one), although she thought she was talking with us, and we never knew what happened. Carrie and I waited for a while once we noticed she was missing (we'd been hiking at different paces), and eventually Jay came back down from his rock scrambling and volunteered to go find her. We headed on up to the top, clamboring over the boulders until the towers shot up into our view, with a green pool at their base. They were cloudy at the top, but still beautiful. We ate lunch (crackers, cheese, and salami), waited a bit to see if Steph and Jay would show up, and headed back down. We found them along the way, snacking and journaling. They explained what had happened, and we headed back to camp for dinner and games.
