We did the Rob Roy Glacier tramp on a beautiful day, just as we did five years ago. Somehow, the trail seemed less demanding, but in 2009 we were carrying packs in preparation for our more substantial tramps on the Milford, the Routeburn, and the Kepler "Great Walks." I'd still rate the Rob Roy as one of the great day hikes.

| As often happens, it starts with a bridge... |
 |
| A river of glacial flour crashing down a deep, narrow canyon |
 |
Standard, beautifully manicured DOC trail; not a single piece of litter, nor a single
cigarette butt... |
 |
| A favorite overhang |
 |
| A favorite sign |
 |
| Standard 1,000 foot New Zealand waterfall |
 |
| A bit of Rob Roy Glacier |
 |
| Detail; with a copter flying over |
 |
| Subsidiary glaciers coming in at right angles |
 |
| Even a panoramic view can hardly do it justice |
