hiking lame man glacier: worth the struggle?

Last weekend, we set out to hike the Lame Man Glacier near Cerro Tolosa in Mendoza, Argentina. The scenery was breathtaking—snow-capped peaks, icy blue streams, and the kind of fresh air that makes you feel alive. But let me tell you, the trail was no joke. We spent nearly two hours scrambling over loose rocks, and I must have slipped at least three times. My knees were not happy, and I started to wonder if this was really the best way to spend a Saturday at our age. We finally reached the glacier, and while it was stunning, I couldn’t help but question if the pain was worth it. My hiking boots are supposed to be top-notch, but my feet were still sore for days. Has anyone else tried this hike? Did you find it as tough as we did, or did we just pick a bad day? I love a good adventure, but sometimes I wonder if these challenging trails are meant for younger folks. Or maybe I just need better gear (or stronger knees!). #hikingadventures #travelstruggles #mendozatrip #Travel
