Lakehead to Upper Travers


December 28 18km 7.5 hrs est.

A pleasant start to the day walking up the Travers valley open grassy areas interspersed with patches of beech forest. Steady climb reaching the sunny John Tait Hut for lunch. A short diversion to see the very picturesque Travers Falls, and then a more steep 220m climb to the open grassy area leading towards the Upper Travers Hut. Good views of Mt Travers with patches of snow. The stream water is sooo cold !
