Wayna Picchu is a mountain right next to the Machu Picchu site that towers over it, allowing you to get the classic shot from above. The walk up is steep, though, and I think that the walk down may defy logic and actually be steeper. This is a shot that Clay took near the top where those crazy Incans built some stone terracing. He went up with Adam around 11 while I went up alone a little while later. Though I loved the group, it was nice to hike alone for a while, at my own pace.

Yeah, it's steep. But that might be a little bit dramatic.
By the time I got up there the sun was shining, butterflies were everywhere, people were happy, it was great. This shows the road down from Machu Picchu as well. The trek up took short cuts up and was pretty direct.
Yay I made it! I'm so tired... but yay I made it!
