Jan 5, 2026 Whiskey Falls
Seven miles in four hours! We hiked the Lakeside trail on the west bank of Lake Rotoiti, starting out fairly early to avoid the heat of the day.
Looking across the lake as the clouds slowly dissipate.
We made it to our destination, Whiskey Falls, the only falls marked on the maps around the lake. Set back from lakeside with steep, rough terrain around keeping us from getting any closer.
We left the shade of the forest to return and found the nearby boat ramp. A beautiful day for a walk!
