Minaret burn track to Colquhoun's Beach and return. 14km ( about 2 hours one way).
From the Lakeside carpark meeting place take the Mt Aspiring Road past Glendhu Bay, turn right onto West Wanaka Road, across the one lane bridge over the Matukituki River then follow the road through 2 farm gates to the Homestead carpark at the end of this road.
The Minaret Burn track and 4WD road from the car park is an easy walk (could be muddy in places after recent rain) to a beautiful beach on the shores of L. Wanaka with a view out to Mou Waho Island on one side and Mt. Alta on the other. (There may be sandflies at the lake.)
The forecast is for fine cool weather with some cloud and maybe be a foggy start.
