We
took only a short one night detour up to Arthur's Pass while
driving down the west coast, and it was well worth it. It
turned out to be one of the most beautiful areas we visited
in New Zealand, and exactly the beautiful outdoors I had come
here seeking.

spectacular Wilderness Lodge

Hill, east of the pass, has

super-intelligent and mischievious Kea, a local high-country
