Be careful if approaching the summit from the south (Sunrise Ridge Track) — this is a very tough hike. The trail is faint and poorly marked, with 7 river crossings before a steep climb. The hardest part is near the top: almost no markers, some scrambling, and loose scree. Don’t underestimate it — be fit and comfortable with heights. Took me about 8h round trip, with a few scary moments.

Fantastisk natur, et must for trampoliner og LOTR fans. Vi parkerede ved Courthouse Flat (aldrig set så mange bier i mit liv) og vandrede op til den charmerende Granity Pass hytte. DOC PDF overvurderer lidt vandretiderne, (chok) ikke for dårligt. vejen i var fint for et normalt køretøj, husk der er en flad (paved) flodkrydsning, der vil blive hård efter kraftig regn.

Måske rart, men vær venlig at bemærke, at dette er en vandretur. jeg kunne ikke gøre det, fordi det var for sent. Vejen er dårlig, og jeg var bange for at få bilen.

Vær forsigtig, prøv ikke at komme derhen nu på grund af oversvømmelse.

Mount Owen 1875m, det højeste punkt i Kahurangi National Park, smuk vandretur, adgang fra North Courthouse Flat, tælle 2 dage med en nat på Hut of Granity Hut. Ekstraordinært landskab, virkelig det værd. Pas på at krydse på stien, ok med vores van i denne sæson, fordi der ikke er regnet for nylig.

Meget intens, tage en masse vand og gå stiklinger, hvis det er muligt, fra lejren til toppen jeg havde det til 11am retur med korte pauser, igen utrolige landskaber og skove

Awesome but hard at the beginning. We did the first day in 7 hours including breaks, IPS breaks ... 4 hours to do the first 3 kilometers. Hard but after it's just awesome, lovely hut, and awesome trip for the second days, some lakes and massive rocks area. Just awesome! Do it. That the best tramp we did in NZ. Very quiet, we were alone. Enjoy

Nice hike.

Very nice hike we did from the north starting at the Courthouse flat campsite , took us ca 12h20 o / high fitness level recommended, it climbs and steep descents very beautiful view 360 atop Mount Owen all The way from the hut reminds one of the sceneries of the Lord of the Rings! Do not rely on the times indicated by the DOC (3h40 to join the hut against 6h indicated on the panels)

I walked's just ... One must first 5 times through by the river to ever come to the beginning of the track ... Also Ca. reversed at half. And the way there was really very steep ...
