Visits
- 2025-07-10: We were up quite early to get to the Utuana reserve at a reasonable time. The drive was very scenic once we rose above the cloud layer. It looked like all of the surrounding mountains were little islands in a sea of fog. On the other hand, it was quite windy on the top. We walked around for a bit, but it was difficult to see any flying animals in the conditions.
