Kepler Track Google-Trek Part 2.

Have continued along the gloriously mountainous section of the Kepler Track on the South Island of New Zealand. This section goes from Forest Burn Shelter to Luxmore Hut which turned out to be something more that a hut, for sure...

Go to the Google Street View treking on from Forest Burn Shelter

Looking back and bidding fond farewell to Forest Burn Shelter
in the middle distance on the left hand side.

A fellow traveler further down the series of switchbacks. A lot of descents on this segment.

Looking back again at Forest Burn Shelter as it dwindles into the distance.

Looking back again where the view is magnificent.

Finally caught up with some fellow trekers.

More fellow travelers on top of the world!

Fragile Area. Didn't look very fragile, but probably best to stay on the track.

Great view over Lake Te Anau.

Rough Descent over rocks.

Still descending and looking back you can see where the track goes through that rocky section.

Saw this guy up ahead, but he wasn't going too fast.

So I ended up leaving him far behind.

Landscape starts to flatten out a bit.

First view of the Luxmore Hut.

Little closer view of the Luxmore Hut which is clearly more than a hut!

Nice view of Luxmore before I head up on the back balcony and take some pictures from there.

The stunning view from the back balcony of the Luxmore Hut.

Peeking in the window at the dining area that has a magnificent view.down on Lake Te Anau.

Went down the trail a bit to get a good shot of the Luxmore hut from the other side.

Looking ahead down the track that will be the next segment to hike on the amazing Kepler Track. 

Continue on the Kepler Track heading down from Luxmore Hut to Brod Bay on Lake Te Anau
