MT ARTHUR AND TABLELAND, New Zealand
Kahurangi National Park’s excellent network of backcountry huts provide many
multiday tramping opportunities, and the Mt Arthur and Tableland area is
spectacular. One challenging route climbs above Mt Arthur Hut (4298ft, 1310m) to
the summit of Mt Arthur (5889ft, 1795m) then follows a high, exposed traverse to
Salisbury Lodge (3707ft, 1130m). With good weather, the views are superb, in bad
it’s abysmal and the alternate low-level route should be used. Continue on to the
Tableland, a high limestone plateau covered in tussock, alpine flowers, snow and
sinkholes. Pass Balloon Hut on the way to Lake Peel, a photogenic alpine tarn,
before climbing the ridgetop for a sensational view of the Cobb Valley. Return to
the car by the low-level route or drop down into the Cobb for further adventures.
