Crossing the Mountains to Greymouth

 

After looking at some sweet seals, we headed over the mountains to the west side of the South Island.  High ranges of snow-covered peaks stood between us and our objective.

 

These are young mountains.  Just look at all that rock being pumped down the rivers.

 

Lots of one-lane rickety bridges in this part of the world.

 

 

 

A mighty river.

 

 

 

We encountered inclement weather going over the pass.

 

 

 

 

On the other side of the mountains  in Greymouth, we found some truly epic food.  It was worth the drive.
