Waimakariri-Harman Pass RouteThe main purpose of this tramping is hot springs. There is hot spring near Julia hut about 15min from the hut. It's very hot, so make a tunnel and add flesh water from the Taipo river for adjusting temperature. This tramping is not easy. It's rated hard and for experienced trampers. You need route finding and river crossing skill. If you walk there, I recommend visiting Barker hut as side trip from Carrington hut. That is on good location, very close to glaciers. However that way is quite steep and rough. |
