Lake Manapouri Sunset ~ On Kepler Track - A 4 day 67km tramp. The 1st day I tramped along Lake Te Anau through forest and then climbed past limestone bluffs and then above tree line to open views of the lake and its South Fiord arm. Soon I reached the Luxmoore Hut and its commanding views. The 2nd day my tramp was in the clouds with moderate wind, but no rain. The path rose to a high ridge walk (1450m) with a pair of warming huts separated by two hours distance. Once on the ridge I had commanding views, first of Lake Te Anau and later of Lake Manapouri. After the second warming hut, I descended rapidly via stairs and then switchbacks through forest to the Iris Burn Hut (450m). On the 3rd day I tramped an easy 17 km to the Lake Manapouri Hut complete with sandy beaches. It was a fine evening with whiffs of clouds in the background and a colorful sunset. Sunrise the next morning was even better. My day out ended at Rainbow Swing Bridge.
