    Interesting and challenging and beautiful at the top, even though we did not have much of a view because of the weather.

    Walked a portion of the track and it felt like I was in Jurassic Park.

    Would highly recommend a stroll through this park.

    From Blackball to Barrytown (please visit the Blackball Hilton Hotel).

    Birthplace of NZ Labour Party. Beautiful views - hut near the top, old gold trail.
