From the Dingle Burn Road to Pakituhi Hut the track climbs a vertical 950m, with the first kilometre of track zig-zagging for 400 vertical metres before reaching a small saddle. On this section of track the highest point (1,300m altitude) is reached at the ridge-line prior to Pakituhi Hut. On clear days, trampers will be rewarded with stunning views over Lake Hāwea and the surrounding landscape including Mt Aspiring/ Tititea. There are two public huts on this track – Pakituhi Hut sleeps 8 people and Stodys Hut sleeps 6.
