Getting there
|
Usual access is via a track that leaves the TL Kokatahi track just before Boo Boo hut. It starts from a small clearing on the TL of a creek. This tops track is in surprisingly good condition despite lack of recent maintenance. The biv can be reached comfortably in 3hrs from Boo Boo or a day from the road end. Alternatively stop a night at Boo Boo hut on the way in. (about 4hrs) Pinnacle Biv can also be accessed via the Toaroha Range from a host of other huts and bivs. |
