Glaciar Piedras Blancas

We hiked to Laguna Los Tres on a point-to-point route starting at Hosteria El Pilar, a 30 minute drive north of Chalten and ending in the Chalten townsite. This route starts with an easy walk along Rio Blanco past the Piedras Blancas Glacier. The day was mostly cloudy, except for a brief period when we needed it most - at Laguna Los Tres. 

I understand that closer to Laguna Los Tres, there is an alternate trail on the other side of the Blanco River which is more difficult but brings you close to the lake shore for a view of the glacier.
