Winter teeth
Icicles at the edge of the Dun Mountain Trail, mountain bike tracks in the snow, a glimpse of the top of Dun Mountain itself: cold, uninviting and yet compelling.
Found on a recent mtb trip over the local classic ride know locally as "The Coppermine" on account of the highest point of the Coppermine Saddle at 890m a.s.l. and a few hundred meters from this point. The Dun Mountain Trail follows the route of the old horse-drawn railway line initially created to extract minerals from the area in the late 1800's. What we get now is a wonderful recreational asset for walkers and mountain bikers who are willing to take on something demanding and wild. All within a few hours walk or ride from Nelson City in New Zealand's South Island.
