The Routeburn Track |
 This Elevation profile (which I also photographed from a Department of Conservation pamphlet) shows how we climbed quite steeply on our first day on the track in order to reach the Routeburn Falls Hut. The following morning, we continued to climb as far as the Harris Saddle (and after that we went on an out-and-back detour up to the summit of Conical Hill). From the top of Conical Hill, however, it was almost a case of downhill all the way to the end of the track at The Divide. |
