“Best summertime adventure”

A summary to the classic kiwi summer is hanging at the bach on the beach, rugby ball, sunburn with a wod of fish and chips. Road trips are always in order too. With winter growing near we packed up the DeuceRover and set off to Mt Cook National Park to make the most of the last of the heat. Picked up mates along the way and also made new ones. No plans other than find camp spots, visit 2nd stores, hike to waterfalls and hike till the heart is content. What was a short photography trip turned into the best summertime adventure.

Mount Cook National Park is an amazing place, the blue glacial waters of Lake Pukaki is something to witness, even better the morning reflection of Mount Cook. Entering the valley the mountain engulf you, its hard not to stop every few metres for more photos. Everything is just so beautiful.
