Scott Track

Arthur's Pass National Park 

Morning Daisy =)

Today we are going to take the Scott Track to Avalanche peak 1877metres , the track takes 7-8 hrs return. The weather is cloudy and looking to rain but the I-site mentioned that we have to be careful and advises us to take the Scott track instead of Avalanche Track as Avalanche track is more dangerous and has more snow covered track.

Excellent view of Devil's Punchbowl Falls, this time from atop!

A great full day walk with plenty of views to take in! So happy to see the snow capped mountains =)

So beautiful view of the valley

The cheeky Kea

So colorful beneath its wings...

The track to Avalanche Peak is well known for being quite dangerous and avalanche might happen during winter.We did not climb to the top because it looked quite dangerous on the ridge up there and some who climbed it said it offers really nice view, but we also saw nice views even before the summit. And also it has a bit of track covered in snow. So we climb up to probably 1500metres, take in the view and have a good lunch. We saw snow anyway, there were pools of snow froze at where we stop.. We made snowman for christmas =)

The mountains looks different everyday, with the cloud changing the landscape frequently. Amazing....
