It was around 4:13pm, when we embarked on the Hooker Valley hike at Mt Cook quite late, though it is summer ☀️ and it only gets dark around 9pm. I had to work half day, then travel from Queenstown to Mount Cook, so all of that contributed to the late walk.
It took us 18 minutes to get to the First Swing Bridge 🌉 even though I played catch up with my friend most of the time because of me talking photos 📸 📷
I enjoy the thrill of being on swing bridges 🌉 my friend don't 😃
The bridge's capacity is a maximum of 20 people, so we tend not to stay too long so others can access the bridge because folks like me can stand there for long taking photos 😄 but I behaved.
I helped myself to selfish now and then, it was just too exciting, and I found the walk to be easy for me.
I have shared a screenshot of the track as we hike towards Hooker Lake. Stick around to find out if we made it.
