Routes from Oturere Bridge to Oturere Hut
Tongariro National Park
Some years ago the prospect of a fast shortcut from Oturere Bridge to Oturere Hut has facinated me. I have done the trip 3 times now and I can't really recommend it as being any quicker than the track via Waihohonu, especially after my latest trip when I found the creek full of windfalls and quite tricky going. Then above bushline there is always a band of pretty horrific scrub. This file depicts 2 routes that I have taken. The next one that should be explored is to go up the main Oturere stream and see where that goes. I would be interested in comments from anyone else who is interested in or has tried this route.
