About this place
This route leads through the middle of the Urutawa Conservation Area. As it is rough and gorgy in places it is recommended for experienced trampers only.
The route
Manganuku Campsite to Tokenui Hut
Time: 3 - 4 hr
From the north side of the truss bridge, take the top track which leads to the Little Manganuku Stream. Walk upstream for approximately 1 hour keeping a lookout for the track on your true right side. The track climbs up and over a low saddle, descending steeply to the Tokenui Stream. Walk downstream for 15 minutes to reach the hut, situated on the true left hand side on the edge of a small clearing. The hut (4 beds) is an old flyable hut, built from plywood and was used in the 1970s for goat culling.
Tokenui Hut to Te Waiti Hut
Time: 3 - 4 hr
The route from Tokenui Hut to Te Waiti Hut there is limited to no marking in most areas and steep drop offs beside the river. A benched track starts 6 km from Tokenui Hut on the true right. Follow the horse track up to Te Waiti Hut (8 beds) situated 10 minutes down Te Waiti Stream.
