Canyon Creek

4 March - We had a long, slow drive of 38km on a 4WD road up the Ahuriri Valley to reach the start.  It was worth it though, this was a superb day tramp.

We were heading towards the "canyon" - the V cleft in the centre of the photo

Beautiful bush and bird life

The valley opens out, we were heading towards the steep bluff in the centre

We climbed to reach this view - our turn around point
