Manapouri tracks


We walked out to lake Rakatu


Deer tracks on the edge of the lake


Wind blown tree over a stream made it easier to cross


These 3 wire cable bridges keep you on your toes


A lichen that blanketed the forest floor


Board walks through the swamp land areas of the track


Karen enjoys a hot chocolate by the fire


Getting into some reading


We stayed both nights at back valley hut, this neat little hut 2.5hrs from the lake.


After some rain the track was really boggy and wet


The top of the circle track


Looking out at hope arm where we walked on the previous day


A curious friendly south island robin came to visit while we made our lunch




Waiting for our ride back across the river

25 October 2010

Karen had labour weekend off so we headed to Manapouri where we got a boat ride across the river and explored all the Manapouri lakes tracks over 3 days.
