| One of many huts along the Te Araroa Trail |
 |
| Bunches of flowers growing out of rock. |
 |
| These little flowers are sparse, but sure make a nice bouquet for the huts! |
 |
| White mountain daisy perhaps? |
 |
| The little red berries and white star flowers are very small (see next picture for scale) |
 |
| My finger next to a precious little flower on the Te Araroa Trail. |

 |
| A hut worked on by the environment more than skilled craftspersons, but a great shelter along the Te Araroa Trail, none the less. |
 |
| One of the best huts ever, Hamilton Hut, built indeed by skilled craftspeople. Thanks DoC. |

 |
| This is 'Double Hut', probably named so because of the addition but still is basically one hut. |
 |
| Double Hut from the other side showing the addition made more obvious by the change in direction of the tin corrugated siding. |
 |
| The most perfect tree I've ever seen, all by itself along the Te Araroa Trail, just for Fran, dbBrad's mom! |

| One of the simpler DoC huts, but still a shelter. |
