We all like praise, but a hike in our pay is the best kind of ways.

I did the Rob Roy Glacier trail in Mt. Aspiring since I didn't have enough time to really do an overnight trip and still see what I wanted along the west coast. It had a nice climb and some great views, though I had to almost literally push past a few cows on the way up. Once back on the road I only had time to stop a few lakeside vistas near Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea before jusst making it to blue Pool before it was too dark to see well.
