Mount Brewster Track

Location
140 km section of State Highway linking Wanaka and Haast.
Description

The track starts from Fantail Falls, crosses the Haast River, and climbs steadily through beech forest to the bushline. From here the track continues up a snow grass face and on to the predominant ridge leading up towards Mt Armstrong.

It is possible to continue up the ridge and on to the top of Mt Armstrong, which is about 2 hours from the hut. A rock bluff half way up can be by-passed by sidling around to the left. In winter, alpine skills are essential.
