Some years ago I had read about the Q'oyllur Riti ice festival near Cuzco, Peru and was very interested to see it. I had talked it over with my backpacking buddy, Rick Walter, and we planned an early summer trip in 1988. Rick also recruited a running friend of his, Bernie Peterson, who would later become my brother in law.

In addition to the ice festival, we also wanted to hike the Inca Trail, see Machu Picchu, and do a backpack in the Cordillera Blanca near Huaraz.
