NZ Part 4. In early December 2005 I hiked the Kepler Track, one of New Zealand's "Great Walks". During the 3-day trip I stayed in two different huts run by the Department of Conservation.
After the Forest Burn Shelter the track skirts along the side of a mountain, and then goes directly over the top-center of a long ridge, exactly as you might imagine a glorious, well-designed, exciting, beautiful track ought to in a perfect world. You can see the track coming around the near side of the small peak near the middle of the image. It then continues right along the knife-edge of the ridge. The clouds had moved up to a higher elevation by now, so I had clear sightlines horizontally and down.
