Mt. Arthur Summit Walk -- Eric & Jane's Favorite Day Walks in New Zealand
Nelson area tramping tour day 9
1795m Mt. Arthur Summit near Takaka New Zealand offers walkers a rare glimpse of marble patterned by past glaciation. It is honeycombed with sinkholes and caves. Alpine flowers abound in summer. It takes 5~7 hours return to the summit and offers outstanding views. It was a special experience for us to visit it in very strong gusting winds.
Arthur 山高1795m 整座山是大理石, 原以為不是很困難的步道,因遇到強風半途躲在大石頭後面避風.這天我們爬得很辛苦,到山頂來回花了六小時.沿途許多巨大的山毛櫸,盛開的高山野花,山頂可以欣賞到360度的高山景色,辛苦是值得的

曾經獨自從Baloon Hut, 經Tableland, Salisbury Lodge, Gordon's Pyramid, Horseshoe Valley,單攻Mt Arthur summit,再返回Baloon Hut過夜,差一點累死,好在夏天日照長,沒摸黑夜行。回程途中進Salisbury Lodge木屋裝水,碰到兩位獵人,不敢相信有人居然只帶day walk腰包,能到達這個木屋。好好笑!
