Rees-Dart Track
- Location
- The Rees track begins 68 kms from Queenstown, via Glenorchy, and there is a car-park at Muddy Creek. It is possible to take four wheel drive vehicles beyond Muddy Creek, but as Muddy Creek is prone to sudden washouts which make it impassable; it is not advisable to leave vehicles for any length of time on the other side.
- Description
The Rees-Dart track is a four to five day tramping circuit which follows the Rees River and the Dart River, through leasehold farmland and the southern part of Mount Aspiring National Park.
It is a moderately demanding tramp, and most days average 6-8 hours of walking. Spectacular mountain scenery, forest and alpine vegetation, rivers and the Dart Glacier are all significant features of the walk.
