Incredible!!! You were so lucky to get quarantined in Newzealand!!! No people No social distancing 😉 in the lap of the Nature.

[@JesseStLouis]

It is a wonderful place. So much to do and see.

Nice ! Was kinda hoping you guys would have taken the shortcut through the Mines of Moria. Cool adventure! Thanks for taking us along.

[@JasonRuppVlog]

Beautiful!! That is why you are the man.

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks bro!!

[@danmunro01]

Epic video. I’ve only done the Kepler up to Mount Luxmore and back. I’d love to go through with a bit of snow like you did. Kea are such amazing birds, they’re very clever. Word is that they’re about as intelligent as a two year old child, or the average ten year old Australian.

[@JesseStLouis]

Yeah we got so lucky with the weather. It was epic. Lol, yeah the kea are awesome but haven't seen any recently...

[@solkalifabrasil]

You had said that "cool stuff was coming...", but this is more than cool, it's fantastic.

[@JesseStLouis]

🙌yes this awesome!

[@thepappaslab4783]

I did the Kepler during NZ summer about 1.5 years back- thanks for sharing the trek and bringing back good memories!

[@JesseStLouis]

Nice, I bet it was a bit different in summer

Hi there! What time of year did you walk the track? And do you think it could be done solo?

[@JesseStLouis]

We did it in early June and met a few people doing it solo.

[@patrickscully4171]

Thanks Jesse. Beautifully made. And really interesting commentary too.

[@Silvius.2]

European was killing always all where they thinking getting something away! In europe still we having animals they not doing like people want! NZ its learning and knows mutch more thats all in Aotearoa must share land togheter.

[@Andy_M986]

$150!! As a Kiwi ,.i am appalled at that price,they better have a 5 course meal to go with that,highway robbery.

[@danmunro01]

That’s the price for foreigners. Price is half that for kiwis.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

I would avoid looking at ultimate hikes then. It is over $2000 for a three day hike

@@josephbradshaw3294 We call it a Walk in NZ,the tourists call it a hike.

@@Andy_M986 I know the difference between hiking and tramping..but I wouldn't call it a walk in the park

Amazing!

[@_permanence]

Hey Jesse, great video! I’m thinking of doing this next week but am a little hesitant to do it if there’s a lot of snow. How easy was it to follow the track with snow?

[@JesseStLouis]

Was pretty easy because of the trail markers. Definitely check avalanche conditions with DOC and bring appropriate gear.

[@t.v.fjordland558]

Thanks for posting your adventure

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks for watching 🤙

[@naturewalks]

Very good work... Keep it up!

[@JesseStLouis]

🤙will do, thanks

[@pyingsien]

In which month did you go? im thinking of doing this May or June, do you know if its suitable?

[@JesseStLouis]

Can't remember either late May or Early June. Depends on weather. Always check in with the local DOC office for current conditions.

[@pyingsien]

@@JesseStLouis Thanks for the reply! Did u have to make any application or permits for the track?

[@JesseStLouis]

No permits or applications, the huts are first come first serve so need to buy the Hut tickets at a DOC office and might need Plb, crampons, ice axe, avalanche gear/ training if conditions require it. We were lucky to be there for the first snow of the season so luckily none of that was necessary. Good route finding ability also is good when the track is covered in snow. You will love it!

[@aidenshura2180]

What month was this hike mate? Thinking of coming over in June and not sure how it will be weather-wise on these hikes? June or September, what do you think?

[@JesseStLouis]

Early June can be a good time

[@jamesscott1935]

@@JesseStLouisThanks Jesse.

[@jamesscott1935]

@@JesseStLouis any other good hikes you'd recommend which should be relatively safe ?

[@JesseStLouis]

@@jamesscott1935 we did Kepler, Routeburn and Milford at the end of May/beginning of June. Depends on how much recent (if any) snow they've gotten. Always recommend checking in with the local DOC office to see about current conditions.

[@JesseStLouis]

@@jamesscott1935 it also depends on the freezing level and whether you will need crampons and and ice axe (and know how to use them). If things are too icy on the tops Hollyford Track is a good alternative as it is lower elevevation. September would be more prone to avalanches due to snow accumulation over winter.
