Drove to Kiriwhakapapa Road end and sorted our bags and headed off to Cow Creek.

Did a side detour to check out Blue Range hut on the way as its an interesting hut to visit.

A day trip up to Waingawa, a bit windy above the bush line so I carried on on my own. Returned to the hut and three people had arrived.

Heading up Waiangawa

Gave the hut a good clean up before heading out after lunch.

Love this tree, hugs?
