Dawn at the top of the track down to Upper Makaroro hut. Fulfilling the promise of the previous evening.

How beautiful.....is there any snow up there, or it is all cloud?
All cloud, RR. Not the faintest possibility of snow.
Kia ora Pete,
I recall thinking that perhaps the forecasted bad weather had arrived early. By the time we arrived down at Upper Makaroro it was a stunning day and remained so for the next two days. Great photo that just exudes the wildness and tempermental nature of the Ruahine.
Cheers,
Robb
Kia ora Robb. Yes, the clouds that evening looked a bit iffy, but the old saying about the red sky at night seems remarkably accurate. Apparently it's well founded, too.
I keep thinking about that trip — the forest, the sky, the river, the wildlife and, of course, the company.
:^)
Hey Pete. Looks like a good trip. Lovely photos. Laura and I were in the Makaroro a few weeks before you!
Saw your name in the Sparrowhawk bivvy book from a few years ago.
We are in Auckland now, sorry I didn't get round to catching up with you but we will be back down your way sometime.
Happy tramping
Jono
Jono, yes — I recognised your names in the hut book! Be good to catch up some time.
Auckland must be something of a contrast to the Makaroro ;^)
