Another great video Travis, good to see what's up that valley and Range, because I've driven trains over Kellys creek literally hundreds of times, but never set foot up the valley any further than where you parked Haha and I dunno how many dudes I've watched get wetter than anyone else by trying to boulder hop to keep the feet dry and arse up lol ....... or roll an ankle
Cozy hut. Eleven hour sleep! You lucky bugger, lol. Some great shots here, awesome place, such clear water. Wish I lived down there, you don't really get many alpine views like that up here in the North Island, except maybe places like the National Park and Ruahine Range.
Hunts Creek hut is a great spot, Bummer DOC doesn't have the funding to maintain the track. The section from the saddle to hut is on my list for a recut, although its a long list... Honora Renwick and Frank King recently trimmed up the route from the creek close to the saddle to Kelly range, a few poles were added too. I'm guessing the fresh work you saw was theirs. Keep the vids coming.
I loved this hike so much! Cool to see your version of the trip ❤ Here’s mine for comparison: ua-cam.com/video/Ac-MJFJsLtc/v-deo.htmlsi=-U8w1RmMA9MunK1i Took me and my friend about 7 hours!! We ended up walking in the dark on the second day! Love Otira so much…

Thank you, we are quite spoilt with the views down here!

Cheers Indy for the info, be keen to give you a hand cheers!
I’ve seen Honora Renwick’s name over and over in a fair few hut books! She’s such an impressive lady!
