On Saturday, my friend Emily took us out to Middlemarch (in Central Otago, about an hour outside of Dunedin) for a hike in the Rock and Pillar Scenic Reserve. We hiked up a trail at Lug creek, about 1350 meters to a snow covered ridge. Hiking up we encountered some feisty cows, right in the middle of the trail! But they eventually let us pass.
As we moved up the rolling hill, it was like watching the seasons change from a sunny day in autumn to winter over just a few hours climb. Below is a picture of me after we finally reached the snow line. Hooray for snow! It made me want to just strap on a pair of skis and go!
We had fun scrabbling on and around the rocks and pillars (hence the name) at the top of the hill, though we didn't hang around too long because it was so cold!
