Located in Mount Aspiring National Park in the Otago region
Time:
The marked track traverses moraine through beech forest from Lake Sylvan. The Rockburn shelter is nestled in the forest, with a chasm, river beaches and pools closeby. Climb through forest to the fragile Sugarloaf Saddle where there are great views of the Rockburn and Routeburn Valleys. The descent to the Routeburn Track is steep.
You can start this walk at either end by starting at the Routeburn car park or from the Lake Sylvan track which connects to this track.
Take the right gear to keep yourself safe on your tramp.
