Brilliant trip. 3 days but is really a 5 day trip. If I did it again I would start from Te-Puia/Kawekas and take a couple of weeks.

    Ive crossed the Ruahines from Pouranaki to Tiki Tiki and the Tararuas from Shannon through to Putara too. Good trips - the Ruahine one is stella.
    Nice....but suspect the Boyd to Desert Rd walk was some time ago?

    Did something not entirely dissimilar in the early 1990's......Ngapuketerua, into upper Rangitikei, Mangamarire saddle, down river to Mangimingi, and out to Boyd.

    Not quite so easy to cross parts of that route these days.....


    @Cigar ....if you're not that bothered about staying in huts, have a look at MapsPast | Current and historical topographic maps (topomaps) of New Zealand for old routes thru the Kaimanawas.....
