In between hikes, I sit down to rest in front of flax artwork and take selfies.

Welcome!

My name is Mark Eaglesfield. This blog shares info about hikes I’ve done, and some other travel.

So far I have mainly blogged about day-hikes in Aotearoa New Zealand, especially the Otago and Canterbury regions of South Island. Above the treeline, tussock grasses and rocks dominate the terrain, so I chose tussock.rocks as my domain name. Expect more US and Europe hikes in coming years.

I thank my family and friends for their encouragement as I’ve built this blog.

Keeping in touch

Feel free to post questions/comments at the bottom of the page for each hike. I appreciate corrections of my mistakes.

You can email me at the simplest possible Gmail address for my name.
