The first day was mostly drizzly and we made it to the Perry Saddle hut. The last hour or so we hiked in the dark, but the trail is so good that it wasn't a problem using our head lamps.

The second day started drizzly but by p.m. it was pouring rain, and that's when we had to wade across some creeks. It was also a long day to Mackay hut.

"it was a beautiful hike, but the question definitely arose around the fire on night #2:is it the west coast or the wet coast?" ( Photo Betsy Andrews ) |
The third day was dry and sunny and we had some great views down the Heaphy River. We made it to the Heaphy hut that day. The last day started out okay. Fortunately we were at the trailhead by the time it started to rain really hard.
