Back to Aotearoa and the Cascade Saddle trip last month. I hope I can write a trip report one of these days.
The itinerary that we'd had in mind for a while was from Raspberry Creek carpark through to Aspiring Hut, over Cascade Saddle, through to Dart Hut, and then to Shelter Rock and out at Muddy Creek.
We finally managed to do it in February, with lots of itinerary changes to not be on the saddle on a rainy day.
Here are pictures from Queenstown through to Aspiring Hut, so not yet the saddle.
"Bell says it reflects the Māori concept of kaitiakitanga, where, as guardians of the environment, we must protect it for future generations"
