The track from Mountain House is well-appointed, with steps all the way to Powell Hut which lies just above the bushline and offers killer views of the Wairarapa Plain from its deck. Open tops and raw ridges beckon irresistibly.
This is the fourth hut on this site and bookings are required for overnight stays. Ever-popular, Powell is very much a hut for the masses with 32 bunks separated into several bunk rooms of various sizes. The track now becomes a well-trodden route marked by poles, leading up through mountain daisies and other pretty alpine plants, and veering from several scree slopes.
A panorama unfolds from Masterton to Cape Palliser. The tops are often obscured by cloud. You must have cookies enabled in your browser and permitted for our site in order to read our articles.

Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion. These are the Asheville City Council Members you should contact ASAP, requesting that they stand up for Asheville citizens by ensuring that The Bluffs developer commits to building his bridge to Woodfin before beginning construction.
Without the bridge, traffic congestion will be a nightmare, health and safety will be greatly compromised, and the Richmond Hill Park experience will be negatively impacted forever.
Esther Manheimer: Where is the information on the bridge and how that is approved? Also what is the impact on the French Broad by building a new bridge across the river? Please spread the word amongst concerned citizens to visit the Richmond Hill and River Rescue FB page to sign our petition. No bridge, no Bluffs!!
The bridge is coming if the project is approved. We do not want the project and we do not want the bridge. Because Holdsworth has a history of bankruptcy and because Woodfin is in over their head, we must demand that the bridge be built first.
Otherwise, Woodfin and Asheville taxpayers will wind up footing the bill when Holdsworth skips town. Can you believe that scumbag Steve asked to sleep with her before even asking her name?
