3114 Waikato Hut Day Walks
Weekend 23rd - 24th March 2024
I want to take you to some places we typically tramp past without investigating. I have in mind climbing Pukekaikiore, 1692m, and Pukeonake, 1225m, in the Mangatepopo area. Both these peaks afford stunning views, especially of Ngauruhoe. The other tramp is directly from Waikato Hut, visiting Pehi Wall which the bold and confident can traverse. We may visit a 43 metre waterfall in the headwaters of the Whakapapaiti, but I'm not sure whether what I have in mind is feasible. Most of the walking for all of these will be off-track. There is a short exposed scramble on the way up Pukekaikiore, Pukeonake is straight forward and difficult bits on Pehi Wall trip can be avoided.
BYO breakfast, lunch, snacks and refreshments. If there are enough people, a communal evening meal will be organised
