In November to January the lupines are growing wild all over the MacKenzie basin area and are actually considered a noxious weed. This is a spot that is prolific with Lupines and easily accessible.

Photography Tips

Access is easiest from the Tekapo end of the bridge, a bit of a climb down but easy for most. Take some gumboots to walk through the shallow river to get to the best lupines.
