I took this picture when we reached the crater rim on el Pico de Orizaba. The summit was near! The clouds were starting to roll in and by the time we started descending, we experieced some rain/snow. It would be the first precipitation the area had seen in a very long time. For my remaining three days in Mexico after that, there was some rain everyday.
