We set off from Glenorchy for 5 days on the Routeburn and Greenstone Tracks.  The tracks took us through two national parks and one conservation area.  Beautiful, clear weather was enjoyed for the entire time in the bush.  We took swimming breaks in the extremely cold streams and under the gigantic waterfalls along the Routeburn.  The landscape was breathtaking and our packs were quite light.

We'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

Phabulous photos!
What a hike/tramp! I especially liked the snake in the grass, the swing, and the reflection Lake Mackenzie and reflections on being reflected. The clouds on Conical was awesome. It is interesting to see your hut, too. Much love to you both, Mom Kuritz
