Arthur's Pass

Saying good-bye after a lovely visit with Wayne and Sue, we headed west to the mountains. It was a sunny, clear day so we did not stop until we arrived in Arthur's Pass where we took a 2 hour hike up Scott's Track for some great views of Devils Punchbowl Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. We hiked up about 1000 feet (only a couple thousand more to the summit!) up a trail that was probably a dry streambed, pulling ourselves up by roots and clambering over boulders - the boys loved it! Once back down, Rory and I still had some energy left so we 'ran' up the 330-or-so steps, to the bottom of the Devils Punchbowl Falls for a closer view!
