This is it! Officially term the "World's Most Dangerous Road" aka "Death Road".
The following picture was taken at the "official" start of the death road where we were given more instructions on how to handle the scary gravel road.
The road starts higher then Mt Cook, at 4,700 metres and descends to 1,100 metres. Which equates to a MASSIVE 3,600 meters descends! The total length of the bike ride is 65 km long and it took us about 4 hours to get to the bottom. The bike ride was insane and thrilling.
This photo, taken above 4,000 metres to show the trail snaking it's way down the side of the mountain.
This is another view from the top of the mountain ranges unfolding into each other. It is beautiful out here I tell you!
For more wicked and insane pictures of the death road search Google!
