After I graduate, I will buy crampons and an ice pick. This time I will make it across the desert and climb Popocateptl.
Popocateptl, the largest mountain in Mexico, is located in the central desert near the Valley of the Sun. I think I tried to cross the Valley, or it could have been random desert. Its farther than it looks, and two hours later I was no closer to the mountain and mad that I had to choose between living or dying at the base. Would it be weak to rent a jeep? I like the idea of trekking the whole thing, but how do you carry that much water...
