This is where you will be spending the night, so your guide will set up your tents and put your backpacks inside, before continuing on the hike.

Here you will be blown away both by the wind and by the spectacular views of Lake Nordenskjold, Skottberg and Pehoe behind you, the shocking hanging glacier called the French Glacier just ahead of you and by many of the peaks that are the reason why this park has become famous. After leaving the lookout you will return to gather your backpacks and continue to Camp Paine Grande where you will spend the night. Day 5: Camp Paine Grande - Camp Grey After a restful nights sleep and an energizing breakfast you will be ready to hike again.
