Mount Aurum

Date: December 27 - 29, 2023

Location: Mount Aurum Recreation Reserve, Skippers Canyon, Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand

Total Trip Distance: 22.19 mi / 35.7 km

Total Elevation Gain: 6,778 ft / 2,066 m

Trip Duration: 3 days

Team: Solo

Field Notes: The Mount Aurum Reserve is stunning and the view from the summit top notch. Archie's Hut is nestled right below Mount Aurum and Bullendale Hut has an open fire place. Once past both huts there is no track. Mount Aurum is a straightforward scramble when following the correct route. Prepare to have wet feet on the approach up Skippers Creek. Vehicle clearance is strongly advised to reach the trailhead.

Rating: 1, I



 

Happy days...
