Old Woman hut
Old musterers' hut located on the Old Woman Range in the Old Woman Conservation Area. Basic hut in good condition, mattresses and stove. No firewood provided or available nearby - bring your own. Walking in from Duffers Saddle takes about 1.5 hours. Other walks in the area include the Carrick Race huts (see Mark Pickering's book "Huts".)
The Old Woman and Old Man range tracks are open for mountain bikes, horse riders, cross-country skiing, snowmobile and in some cases 4wd. This area, though not a traditional trampers destination, thus gives a great range of possible activities.

The road to the Nevis Valley is 2WD in summer but can be 4WD only or closed for extended periods in winter and early spring. Boundary Hut, in the Fraser, is about 20km further along the range on old farm tracks. From there you can drop to Alexandra/Clyde or continue SE along the Old Man Range towards Junction Huts at the southern end of the park - also accessible from Roxburgh and Waikaia. |
