Glorious forest walk: Glacier Burn track

Mt Avalanche and avalanche glacier

From Wanaka, drive about an hour up the Matukituki valley, cross the first ford, then walk across the first swing bridge and along the valley floor up the Eastern branch. Pass the old homestead, then up the Glacier Burn. Another great day out in Mt Aspiring National Park and spring time is fabulous to watch these healthy farm animals with their young all along the valley. The forest is rich and beautiful, here some more photos

Supposedly a 'false beech', this one just magic

delicious water and delightful mosses
