Glorious Weather And Glaciers

Hari Hari was just 38 miles form Franz Josef. A big storm was brewing, but we figured we could make it there, then take a day off to miss the worst of the storm the next day.

By the evening, yesterdays rain had turned into heavy, heavy rain and extreme winds. There was a full storm with thunder and lightning through the night.

Oh my goodness. Arthur’s Pass was next level hard. We knew it was steep on the approach but it really was something else!

Arthur’s Pass Village is right at the top of the mountain so we had a stunning day to Springfield. There was a big hill in between, which was a lot after Arthur’s, but it really was gorgeous out there.
