Description
The Cameron Valley's entrance is a spectacular gorge with towering bluffs and a cascading waterfall. The track starts from the Cameron Creek car-park and climbs up through a series of small bluffs before sidling around above the gorge, some parts are steep and exposed. After the gorge the track descends across a large slip to the river, about two hours from the carpark. After crossing the river the track re-enters the forest and continues to the south branch before coming out on a grassy river flat. The four-bunk Cameron Hut is at the southern end of the flat.
Plan and prepare
Before you go into the outdoors, tell someone your plans and leave a date to raise the alarm if you haven't returned. To do this, use the New Zealand Outdoors Intentions process on the AdventureSmart website. It is endorsed by New Zealand's search and rescue agencies and provides three simple options to tell someone you trust the details about your trip.
