Hiking the Routeburn Track in New Zealand

On the road in the South Island of New Zealand and making my way to the world -renowned  Routeburn Track

Key Summit is located near Fiordland and Mount Aspiring National Parks

Some parts of the trail is for experienced hikers only

The surface is all dirt and rock so needless to say wear the proper foot gear

The highest point of the  trail is near Harris Saddle of 1,300 m (4,300 ft)

Need to be aware of avalanches when approaching the mountains

A look at the South Island of New Zealand  where we are for this latest adventure

Besides the regular hazards of hypothermia, sunburn and rain....... there are also high cross winds when you walk this bridge lol

Lake MacKenzie 

There are overnight accommodations to be used, but needs to be booked in advance

 As you can see, many trails for all levels of fitness

Beauty of nature is all around us........ but one needs to be careful and respect the elements

To protect the grounds we have wooden walking tracks everywhere

Novs Scotia Coast Line

Driving along the rugged Nova Scotia coastline you will come upon small fishing villages, the Atlantic Ocean, much granite rock and of course great photography
