The Routeburn Track

Sign at the beginning of the track. The track is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It is 38km's long, today we covered 20km's of it...a hard 20km's
One of 19 rope bridges we crossed,

We loved the colour and the clarity of the water in the Southern part of New Zealand

Amazing water colour
Walking in the Alpine Meadow


We went to the Falls Hut, 350m in 45 minutes, what a climb
Another rope bridge
Our guide walking along the cliffs with other from our group, ironically enough he was a Canadian
View across the meadow

View from the Falls Hut area, we hiked through the right side

Jim at Routeburn Falls, What a view

This photo is interesting because you can see where the sub-tropical rain forest and the Alpine forests meet
