So while Kevin and Laura took the van around the Milford Sound area, Kimbo and I went up to one of the huts on the Kepler track. Max, who was on our kayak tour of Doubtful Sound the day before came for the day. The forecast was for rain, wind, and cold....
A very nice track... definitely the widest and well marked track we'd been on.
We met up with a fellow tramper we had hiked with on the Rakiura Track.
The hike was straight up for day one... which was nice to get above the tree line and hike on he ridge... a great view for the rest of the day.
You get a view back at Te Anu from the ridge.
Kimbo enjoying the day.
After reaching the Luxmoore Hut, I ran up to Mt. Luxmoore just in time to catch up with Max.
After summiting and eating lunch, we decided to check out the nearby Luxmoore caves near by.
Turned out to be a great exploration. Kimbo squeezing in.
Look at this joker.
Great stalagtites, stalagmites, etc...
During the night I heard lots of footsteps outside our window... went to the bathroom and found these guys creating havoc on the deck..
Beautiful Kea
They're very smart... and makes for some entertaining viewing.
The Luxmoore Hut
And what's a hike in NZ without a rainbow sighting?
On the way our we ran into these two who were on their way up... a nice place to say our goodbyes.
