Nelson Lakes National Park: Angelus Hut / Cascade Track / Lakehead Hut

Episode Two (of Two):
Day Three - My sister and I hike from Angelus Hut to Lakehead Hut via the Cascade Track, and I sing the Skyrim theme tune. We follow the Hukere Stream.
Day Four - We get up a bit late, and hike from the Lakehead Hut back to St. Arnaud, along the Lakehead Track and beside Lake Rotoiti. We see Coldwater Hut on the opposite bank, on the other side of the lake.
Nelson Lakes National Park is in the South Island of New Zealand, at the northern end of the Southern Alps. It was formed after the passing of the National Parks Act in 1952. It was created in 1956 (one of four created in the 1950s). The park contains beech forests, multiple lakes, snow-covered mountains and valleys created by glaciers during the ice ages. (From Wikipedia).
I'm a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Hamilton, New Zealand. My videos are a mix of music, and hiking the outdoors. Ceolskog is my folk metal / heavy metal / country rock (and some other genres) band. It is also the name given to this hiking and nature-themed KZbin channel. Ceol means music in Irish, and skog means forest Norwegian and Swedish. I don't have a Patreon, but if you're a regular viewer, and you want to support me some way, you can find my music on Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, Soundcloud, Amazon, and KZbin too (of course).

Happy New Year. Back to watching

[@Ceolskog]

Thanks guys, happy new year to you too!

[@FutureRuins]

Amazing country and perfect weather! So cool that you guys have huts to be able to get comfortable in. I'd have been happy with any of those spots you found along the river, but having actual cots is really appealing! \m/

[@Ceolskog]

Yeh, there were some nice spots for camping. The huts sure are handy, they're all over the place and saves having to carry a tent around, unless the huts are all booked up.

Great to see you out with your sister again Adam and in some pretty awesome mountains to mate. I imagine you got back buzzing. Just popping in to wish you happy new year. May 2023 be full of awesome adventures. See you out there. Mark

[@Ceolskog]

Thanks Mark. Happy new year. Hope to do more than three walks in 2023!

[@WyeExplorer]

Looking at doing that walk in March. Nothing to steep and technical in the tramp down?

[@Ceolskog]

Not so much technical but some pretty steep parts with unstable scree. Also we got lucky with fine weather, but normally it can be pretty unpredictable. March would probably be the ideal time to go.
