Cradle Mountain ROCKS
WOW
That says it all about Cradle Mountain. Coming to Cradle mountain has been the highlight of the tassie trip so far for both of us.
We arrived too late in the afternoon to do any walking the first day and were met with drizzle and rain the next morning. We ended up going on a small walk and saw the occasional bit of blue sky and decided to do a decent walk.
We first went to crater lake and found it to be a stunningly beautiful walk. The day got rainier towards the latter part of our walk which took us to dove lake. By the time we got to dove lake it was raining all the time. We were fortunate in that the rain (when it was heaviest) was at our back and we had raincoats along so no real problem.
The next day we woke up to crystal clear blue skies and headed off to dove lake again. We were sure surprised when we got there to see that the cradle mountain peak sits right on the far shore of dove lake, the previous day it had been so overcast we hadn't even seen it.
When we realized the cradle mountain peak was so close, I couldn't restrain myself and took off for the summit walk. Hilary was still feeling a bit sore from the previous days walking so she decided to sit at the lake's edge and soak up the tranquility. The following picture is the exact view she had for about 3 hours.
Here is the picture of Dove Lake that I took from the highest point on the summit walk. If you look closely, you can see Hilary on the far shore of the lake soaking up the scenery and waving to me.
