Ada Pass Hut - Christopher Hut
Time: 4 hr 30 min
10.5 km From the hut, the track leads through bush over Ada Pass into the Ada valley. Beech forest gradually gives way to open areas of tussock with tongues of mountain beech. Orange triangles at the clearing edge indicate the start of the track through bush areas, following the true right bank of the Ada River. At the confluence of the Ada and Christopher rivers, the track passes the historic Christopher (Ada) Cullers Hut. The Christopher Hut is 10 - 15 minutes walk from this point, close to the edge of the bush, about 350 metres from the Ada River.
