Kilimanjaro Climb – Day 3 – August 4, 2010 – Shira 1 Camp
On the morning of our third day of hiking, we finally got to see Kilimanjaro for the first time since arriving in Tanzania. It was a cold morning and we had frost on the ground. Today, we will hike 8 miles (14 km) from Shira 1 to Moir Hut, stopping at Shira 2 for lunch. We will go from 11500 feet to 13800 feet today, making a good gain in altitude. Thanks to the clear weather, not only did we get to see Kilimanjaro, but we also had incredible views of the night sky.
