Located in a clearing at about 1300 m. The hut was built in 2008. A hut on the tops that is relatively easy 2-3 hours to get to via Sentry Box track and Mangleton Road end, or 4-5 hours from Makaroro Base (Whakarara Road). It is a handy staging point for long trips in the northern Ruahines. Snow can be quite deep in June-August at times. |
