Hike St Arnaud Range Track, Nelson Lakes National Park, New Zealand

Climb onto the St Arnaud Range for spectacular views of the surrounding area. This walk climbs steadily through beech forest to a height of over 1650 metres. Above the bushline (at 1400 metres) after a 2 hour climb, there are spectacular views from Parachute Rocks, which gained their name from a parachute-shaped gravel scree located just to the north. The track climbs for a further 30 minutes from here to the ridge line, where you are rewarded by spectacular views of the surrounding area: east down the Wairau Valley, north to Mt Richmond Forest Park, west towards Kahurangi National Park and the Buller Valley, and south to the rest of Nelson Lakes National Park. Return via the same route.
