Cascade Saddle Route (Ambient Hiking) 

Fantastic video it looks like an amazing hike.

Amazing video, well done sir. It's great to have this aesthetic in videos to show the real beauty.

Awsome vid mate, ,now I know what that area looks like, thanks👍, beautiful southern alps.

Beautiful.

What a fantastic journey and video.

Wow, great filming! I tramped the East and West Matutukituki and climbed Aspiring and a few other easier peaks in my 20's, but never got around to tramping the Cascade Saddle. I'm 70 now and I know I couldn't handle the exposure on the ascent, so huge thanks for taking us along for the ride. The algorithm just popped your video up, and I'm now going to watch the rest of your videos. 👍

Great video ..we did this route before Dart Lake was formed. Also before they strengthen the bridge over Snowy Creek ( before the Dart Hut)

Thanks for taking us with you! Already when I saw the DOC sign at the beginning I had nostalgic feelings. :-)

Love that little ridge lookout at 3:26

Great video man looks awesome 👍

Thanks Paul. That was a very enjoyable watch. Impressive filming when you're tramping solo. Looks like you had great weather to.

Excellent video.

Solo hiking the best 👍

Thanks Paul the video was very nostalgic, 5 years ago I needed to escape and spent a few months backpacking and hiking through NZ. Cascade saddle was an absolute highlight. Next trip I'd like to walk from Arthurs pass to Nelson lakes and then explore further into Fiordland. Dart Glacier is a real hidden Gem.

this is very good!

🤩 So beautiful place!! 👍

Awesome work! Looks like it was an awesome hike 🤙

Doing this in December, did someone pick you up at Chinamans Bluff or someone transferred your car?

Doing this solo would have been tough. Walking back to collect the camera every time would have added miles to your hike.
