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 tramping og LOTR-fans. Vi parkerte ved Courthouse Flat (jeg har aldri sett så mange bier i mitt liv) og vandret opp til den sjarmerende Granity Pass-hytta. DOC PDF overvurderer vandringstiden litt, (sjokk) ikke for dårlig, men veien inn var bra for et normalt kjøretøy, husk at det er en grunnet (paved) elvekryssning som vil bli hårete etter kraftig regn.

Kanskje fint, men vær oppmerksom på at dette er en tur. jeg kunne ikke gjøre det fordi det var for sent. Veien er dårlig og jeg var redd for å få bilen.

Vær forsiktig, ikke prøv å gå dit nå på grunn av oversvømmelse.

Mount Owen 1875m, høyeste punkt i Kahurangi nasjonalpark, vakker tur, tilgang fra North Courthouse Flat, telle 2 dager med en natt på Hut of Granity Hut. Ekstraordinært landskap, virkelig verdt det.

Snarere intens, ta mye vann og gå sticks hvis mulig, fra leiren til toppen jeg hadde det for 11am retur med korte pauser, igjen utrolig landskap og skoger

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 ...
