Cameron Valley Track

Location
Located in Mount Aspiring National Park, from the head of Lake Wanaka to Haast Pass/Tioripatea.
Description
The Cameron Valley’s entrance is a spectacular gorge with towering bluffs and a cascading waterfall. The track starts from the Cameron Creek car-park and climbs up through a series of small bluffs before sidling around above the gorge, some parts are steep and exposed. After the gorge the track descends across a large slip to the river, about two hours from the car park. After crossing the river the track re-enters the forest and continues to the south branch before coming out on a grassy river flat. The four-bunk Cameron Hut is at the southern end of the flat.
