Hokitika Gorge

We started the morning by driving about 30 minutes from our lodge to the Hokitika Gorge. There is a short 15 minute walk there along a trail that leads you to a swing bridge over the blue-green water (unlike anything I've ever seen!) of the Hokitika River. From there, it's another short walk to the rock sided Hokitika Gorge.

It was a really terrific and short walk with stunning views almost instantaneously. A very nice way to start our day.



















As we were finishing our walk back up towards the car, we noticed this view back down to the bridge. I asked Dick to run back down the trail to the middle of the bridge so I could get these photos. What a cooperative guy! :)
