15 Jan 2005 Dead Woman's Pass

For this week's Photo Friday, signs, I went back to September for this shot.

This sign points the way to Abra de Warmiwanusca, or Dead Woman's Pass. At 4200m (~13,800 feet) above sea level, this is the highest point on the traditional 4-day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu, in the Andes of Peru. We crossed the pass in a thick fog and couldn't see anything in the valley below, but I loved the vivid blue paint and the bits of rust on this sign.
