Just go for it

Hanmer Springs

A resort type get-a-way for people in Christchurch, since its only 1 1/2 hours away.

Why would I go there?
B/c of the mountain biking and hiking, and b/c Arthur's Pass National Park still had avalanche warnings.

Highlights of the weekend in Hanmer:

Dogstream Waterfall Track

Mountain Biking for 1/2 a day through the multiple tracks (beginner level to advanced), a few tumbles and scratches from the advanced tracks but well worth it

Enjoy each day as its own b/c you never know what adventures lie ahead,

Cheers
