Thor Hut | Kahurangi National Park

Thor Hut is the last remaining SF 70-style hut with an open fireplace and original louvre windows on the Karamea-Leslie track. The original Crow 1967, Venus 1970, and Trevor Carter 1972 have all been replaced in recent years.

Thor was refurbished in 2008, ie, new roof, painted, etc, and it’s in such good nick DOC might just keep it like this for the foreseeable future.
