Aro Valley - Red Rocks... again

A few weeks ago Rachel and I walked up from Aro Valley down to Red Rocks. The track takes you to the Wind Turbine, to the Radar and then down to Red Rocks. On that occasion we walked for 9 hours and we were totally spent. It was a good way to start training for the tramping season. The walk is so enjoyable and the views you get from Wellington are so nice that I decided to do it once again.

This time I did the walk with a few new friends and since they haven't seen much of Wellington, I thought it would be a great opportunity for them to see the sights and stretch their legs. Nina, Alex and Caroline all come from the US and I think that what they saw today gives them a better appreciation for Wellington. Lein and Naomi also enjoyed the walk even though they're veteran Wellingtonians, hehhehe.
