Looking down at Lake Constance from Waiau Pass

Tuesday 16 January – Awesome. Fun. Wow! The tramp from Waiau Hut up and over Waiau Pass and down to the shore of Lake Constance has to be one of the best bits of Te Araroa.

I will let the photos tell the story.

One of many “unstable boulder fields” on the trail
Looking up at where the boulders come from
Following the Waiau Uwha River
Lots of fun climbing up the rocks
Plenty of hand and foot holds
Having a rest – looking back at where I climbed
Almost at the top of the pass
Made it to the top of Waiau Pass
Heading down to Lake Constance to pitch my tent
