Today we hiked up Roy's Peak and then decided to continue over Alpha with great views all around.
The trail to Mt Alpha had to circumvent some interesting rock formations.
Here is Mt Alpha from the town of Wanaka.
We walked out to Cardona Valley and hitched a ride with a Swiss fellow who has been living in New Zealand for three years; he took us right back to the original parking lot. We then drove to into Mt Aspiring National Park to the Rob Roy parking lot, and hiked into the base of Rob Roy Glacier to the right.
The views in the valley were great but the road was rough- washboard like I have never seen before, plus lots of cattle guards and about a half dozen ford stream crossings. On the way back we saw lots of elk and deer farms.
