Mexico’s Volcanoes: Wedel & Team Reach Summit of La Malinche
Monday, February 24, 2025
Malinche day! And Melissa’s birthday!
Well, well, well we had another wonderful day in the mountains. 100% of the team made it to the top of Malinche and we were rewarded with amazing views.
It’s rained every afternoon since we’ve been here so we got an early start on the trail. We were sent off in the dark by a pack of friendly doggos. The trail went up and up through majestic trees and eventually we saw the pink of the sunrise peaking through the canopy. We continued on and before we knew it we could see the ridgeline of Malinche.
The views were amazing - Orizaba shining bright to our left and Ixta and Popo on our right. The skies were clear but there’s been some recent snow so we took our time through steep icy rocks just before the summit.
We celebrated with team photos and enjoyed the moment up there before we headed back down to La Malintzi for the night.
