About this place
This challenging tramping route from the Hollyford Road climbs the slope to meet the Routeburn Track near Harris Saddle.
The route
This is a challenging tramping route. From the Hollyford Road the track climbs steadily to reach the Routeburn Track at a point half an hour before the Harris Saddle. There is a creek to cross, which may be impassable after heavy rain. From Hollyford Road up to the Routeburn Track takes about 5 hours. There are fantastic views back over the Hollyford Valley and Fiordland mountains.
