Trevor Carter Hut | Kahurangi National Park
Trevor Carter Hut is situated on a terrace above the Karamea River and is surrounded by countryside still bearing the scars of the 1929 Murchison earthquake.
It can be confusing on some maps due to its location near the old Luna Hut, the previous version of Trevor Carter, now demolished, which used to be on the other side of the river.
There’s a fine new suspension bridge over the Karamea River nearby, but crossing Kendell Creek may be a problem after rain.
