The Hillary Trail was opened in January 2010, linking together existing tracks already managed by DOC or ARC with roads to form a multi-day journey. Book campsites along the track by contacting ARC at 0-9-366 2000 or by visiting the Arataki Visitor Centre. The Te Henga Walkway section may be closed for lambing between 1 August and 1 October. Note that this is a long trail with limited camping options and water supply. Further facilities will be added in future.
