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.

Paesaggio mozzafiato, un must per i trampolini e gli appassionati di LOTR. Abbiamo parcheggiato a Courthouse Flat (mai visto così tante api nella mia vita) e abbiamo camminato fino alla affascinante cabina Granity Pass. Il DOC PDF sopravvaluta leggermente i tempi di escursione, (shock) non troppo male.

Forse bello, ma si prega di notare che questa è una escursione. non potevo farlo perché era troppo tardi.

Fai attenzione a non cercare di andare lì adesso a causa dell'afflusso. è completamente impossibile attraversare il fiume

Mount Owen 1875m, punto più alto del Parco Nazionale Kahurangi, bella escursione, accesso dal North Courthouse Flat, contare 2 giorni con una notte alla Hut of Granity Hut. Paesaggio straordinario, davvero vale la pena.

Piuttosto intenso, prendere un sacco di acqua e bastoncini a piedi se possibile, dal campo al top ho avuto per 11am ritorno con brevi pause, ancora una volta paesaggi incredibili e foreste

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 ...
