1625 Otaki Gorge Road, Akatarawa-Otaki, Kapiti Coast
A classic 3 day tramping trip in the Tararua Ranges traversing from Otaki Forks to Kaitoke. It includes 6-8 hours of travel and an ascent of Mount Hector in its alpine section.
Traditionally Field and Alpha huts, just below the bushline on the western and eastern sides of the alpine section of the crossing, have been the places to stay. Another hut Kime Hut is an alpine refuge in bad weather.
