Backpack the Gillespie Pass Circuit, New Zealand

12/11/16

Amazing hike with beautiful scenery and many river crossings. Including an extremely difficult crossing of the makarora river at both ends. Be prepared for all weather and do not cross the makarora if your alone or unsure. If your looking for an exciting, challenging adventure this ones for you. If you do not get a jet boat from Kerrin forks the 15 or 20km hike out is rough but exciting and beautiful in its own right. Though I would not recommend racing through it, we completed this circuit in just 2.5 days.
