New Zealand Photo Journal #21: Hiking Lagoon Saddle

Come join me for this 50-image photo journal as I cycle and hike across New Zealand. In this 21st volume I will be hiking a two-day loop in the Arthur's Pass National Park up to Lagoon Saddle. After hitch-hiking to the trailhead, we hiked up the Cass River Valley, and down to the 20-bunk Hamilton Hut. The next day we hiked up to the jaw-dropping views of Lagoon Saddle, and then down to Bealey Hut for a swim in the river. I hope you enjoy these images and travel thoughts as much as I did photographing them and living the adventure.
