Pell Stream
- 2 – 3 days loop track with a road section
- Medium
This highly recommended valley not far from the highway just west of the Lewis pass, is accessible to most people with a bit of tramping experience and a lot of common sense. The full traverse of the creek described here offers a satisfyingly authentic remote tramping experience. As a two+ day tramping trip, it crosses a saddle just above the bushline and includes a mixture of wilderness travel both off and on tracks. Pell stream hut about half-way makes a cosy place to spend the night.
