Our first big hike in the high mountains of New Zealand

We head up the Hooker Valley Track in the mist past hanging glaciers

An iceberg floating (maybe?) down the lake

Raging rivers

The first swing bridge

Laura and Jim cross the bridge

Roz is glad there is a fence to keep her on the trail

The second swing bridge

Jim and Laura on that bridge

Roz makes it across

The river raging again. It rained very heavily on the way back.

It cleared up around dinner time
