Kahurangi in Maori signifies 'treasured possession.'
We will trek through challenging terrain, thick rainforests, mountain passes and grassy plateaux.
Waterfall Crossing
We camp at Abestos Cottage, built in 1897.
It was a damp and rainy night, but after a misty morning hiking among the mountains, a rainbow appears!
Kahurangi Swing Bridge Crossings
We set up camp under a rock overhang, the fire warms up the frosty evening air.
After a morning hike, we rest before summiting Gordon's Pyramid.
