Long Weekend of 30th January - 1st February 2021
The plan for this long weekend is to walk into Waipakihi Hut following the Umukarikari Range. This track climbs up through beech forest onto the alpine ridge with fantastic views. It takes 4-5 hours to reach the hut.
The hut sleeps 12 but as it’s a long weekend the plan is to camp by the river as it will probably be full. And to have a swim or two if it’s hot!
Sunday we will do a day trip up to Junction Tops (1605m) for even more impressive views out over the mountains.
On Monday we will walk out the way we came in.
This is a perfect weekend for a few days in a stunning part of the North Island.
