Thread: Cascade Hut, Kaimanawas

Had a great trip into cascade hut.
Didn't manage to get down there till Saturday morning so a bit of a late start leaving the road end at 11am. Beautiful bush on the way in and great weather with some great views from the top. Had one set of boot prints on the track so knew someone was ahead of me and arrived to the fire already going. Quick nosey down the river flats on dark to only find lots of old sign. Woke up to well below minus temps so was glad to be in the hut. Headed up to the kaipo saddle the next day and found plenty of fresh sign and almost got on to one but it got the better of me. I blame the dog. Back to the hut for a warm up and another couple arrived, got yakking and before I knew it was dark and then another couple turned up. So it was full hut with plenty of good yarns. Woke to rain so packed up and got out of there before the others so I could hunt my way out. Bit of a wet and chilly walk out with nothing seen but overall still had a great time. Will be heading back again soon hopefully.
