This was the day of VISTAS. We made it to the top of the McKinnon Pass after a lot of steep climbing. We really lucked out with the weather. It was cold, with snow on the ferns and wild flowers, but no rain or snow for us that day. Good thing! Because it was really tough getting down from the top of McKinnon Pass, where we were actually hiking down a few water falls at times. Very steep, where you had to sit on your butt in many places to get down to the next step.
Incredible views too! Near the top of McKinnon Pass, his friends built him a memorial. What a cairn!
The third day also included some beautiful waterfalls on the trip down and a side trip to Sutherland Falls, the tallest water fall in NZ, and the fourth tallest in the world, at 580 m.
