ROUTEBURN TRACK

Always check an alpine long drop for kea misadventures…

Reined in the new year with some special friends amongst mountains that together reminded me the importance of having something to believe in that both centres and expands your life. For those still figuring that out, the Routeburn is a pretty good place to start.

32km doable in a day if you push it but we chose to overnight at Routeburn Falls Hut. Ample opportunities for alpine swims and ample opportunities to converse with kea. One can’t beat following an alpine ridge line, especially in a place like Fiordland.
