Goat Pass Hut | Arthurs Pass National Park

Goat Pass Hut has a great location, one of the more spectacular around. And a reasonable level of amenity, other than a lack of heating.

Note that it ain’t an hour’s roll down the valley to Upper Deception Hut, as the signage states. It’s actually around twice that for those carrying a pack.
