Hike
Callery Gorge Walk, New Zealand
View Original Description
The Callery Gorge Walk in Westland Tai Poutini National Park begins in the Franz Josef Waiau township, at the end of Cowan Street. This 10.4 km up and back trail climbs to a high terrace before descending to the Callery River.
The track narrows through the rainforest, and follows alongside an old gold mining water race. The water race and some rusty relics are among the last visual reminders of the gold mining era.
The track then descends to the historic Callery Gorge bridge. From here there are views of the narrow Callery Gorge which has changed dramatically over the years due to gravel deposits filling in the gorge and raising the level of the riverbed.
