McKinnon-Crow Circuit 27-28 January

Saturday, 27 January 2018

We drove up Friday arvo and walked 6km up the Kauwhatau river

Was a loverly evening

Cage by K Base

We climbed 200m as the sun set

and slept on the track

Off bright and early Saturday

Breaking out of the bush

Was misty at first

But soon cleared

High point on the left

Stunning landscape

McKinnon hut

Eastern Ruahines

Where we'd climbed down

Off after a long lunch

Steep track

Soon made the river

GUO at the Crow bridge

Crow hut - a lovely spot

We swam by the rock on the left

Heading down the river Sunday

Reflecting trees

Another stunning day

The power of nature

Beautiful kowhai all down the river
