On Caesar Knob overlooking Boulder Lake
• From the summit of Caesar Knob, the ridgeline down toward Boulder Lake is obvious. However, the lower section is dense bush.
Boulder Lake Hut Mk2
• The original hut was built by the Golden Bay Alpine and Tramping Club in 1962.
Dusk settles over Boulder Lake
• Sunset over Boulder Lake looking south to the Dragons Teeth
Bush-bashing below Walker Ridge
• Many hours of pushing through scratchy Manuka slow one to a crawl along the Walker Ridge en route Cedar Saddle and The Devils Dip.
Camping at Paradise Basin
• Ample tent space and pure, clear water are available at this remote alpine basin. Listen for weka, kea and goats.
Jim above Paradise Basin
• East of Slate River Peak, descend a grassy slope and rock slide to reach the tarns of Paradise Basin to the south of this peak - beautiful camping!
Delightful ramble along to Parapara Peak
• A stiff 1200m climb gets you above the treeline onto this magnificent peak with jaw-dropping views of Golden Bay.
Trig on Parapara Peak, Golden Bay
• Trampers at trig station on Parapara Peak, with the remote Haupiri Range beyond.
