Kepler Track

This past weekend my friends and I did the Kepler with Danie, Pai, Malorie, and Tyler. The weather was absolutely wonderful. This picture is from the second day on top of Mt. Luxmore at 1458 meters. The lake below is Lake Te Anau, the same lake we saw from the Milford Track. The Kepler was long, 67 kilometers and we did the entire track in two and a half days. On the second day we hiked 30 kilometers and all of our feet were hurting at the end. The Kepler was a great track and was unique because we spent so much time above the bushline. Some other notable things were the caves near Luxmore hut, glow worms we saw during the night while we were still hiking in the dark on the second day, and the snow covered track once we got to high elevation.
