Hiking trails in Glenorchy

• Greenstone-Caples Track. A DOC Major Track. Actually two separate tracks, but often taken together as a circuit as four to five-day hike. Either of these tracks could be linked with the Routeburn as well or simply walked in one direction.
• Rees-Dart Track. A DOC Major Track. A moderately demanding circuit track takes four to five days of six to eight hours of walking. The fifth day is added if an extra day trip to the Dart Glacier is taken. Mt Earnslaw (Pikirakatahi) and Slip Stream (Te Koroka) are Töpuni (sacred) sites of the Ngāi Tāhu Maori tribe. This track can also be linked to the Cascade Saddle track but is suggested only for very experienced trampers.
• Routeburn Track. One of the DOC’s Great Walks. 32km through Mount Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks. Not a circuit track, so take this into consideration. However, hiking from the Glenorchy end of the track you could link it with the Caples or Greenstone tracks to keep a base out of Glenorchy. The Routeburn takes an average of 3 days, 2 nights to complete. Peak season is late October to late April and bookings are required. During peak season the huts are supplied with gas cookers, cold running water, and some heating. During the off-peak season, especially during winter, the track may be impassable.
