Day 2 on the Milford Track
When Alan and I reached to Pass that afternoon,
we were naturally drawn to the Memorial and to the dramatic ridge that climbs
to the top of Mt Balloon.
But when we walked on down the track past the Memorial
and turned in the direction from which we had just climbed, we were stunned
by the sweep of the glaciated Clinton River valley we'd been following the
past two days. We could see the Mintaro Hut where we began our ascent.
We would not see the likes of this picture the following
day.
