Luxmore Hut- Out palace in the sky!
 |
| Luxmore Caves- stalactites galore- also very dark- who would have though there would be caves on top of a mountain? |
Sunrise! The clouds are covering the town and lake of Te Anau, we enjoy the sunrise bathed in light at the top of the mountain.

Notice the changing colors as the sun rises!

| John- the eternal photographer- also snow! |
 |
| The Kea enjoyed playing with us! |
 |
| Mountains! |
 |
| Glacial Valleys! |
 |
| Ridgeline! |
 |
| On the descent we see waterfalls! |
 |
| View from Iris Burn Hut, we are nestled into a glacial valley. |

| Our trip invloved traveling from Dunedin, to Ten Anau, and they going on to Milford Sound. |
