Mt Fyffe Hut | Ka Whata Tu o Rakihouia Clarence

Seems climbing Mount Fyffe is a thing these days, and some prefer to stay in the hut somewhat near the top to enjoy the sunrise over the Pacific from on high. It truly is a magnificent view.

A fairly grinding walk from the car park; however, it is mostly a little steeply inclined, making it easy walking either up or down, but the views compensate.
