Crow - Mokai Patea 13-14 February

A memorable loop walk over the tail end of the Hikurangi Range to Crow Hut. Saturday - We used the cable way at Kawhatau Base and up the track to the Hikurangi Range and down to Crow Hut. Sunday - Up the track to the Mokai Patea Range. We did a quick side trip to knock off Rongotea. Then north along the range to the turn off to Colenso and down the track to Kawhatau Base.
