מסלול ארוך בקווינסטאון ”אפשרויות טיול לטרק Routeburn“

לפניכם כמה אופציות למתחילים את הטרק מגלנורצ`י:
in case you start the trek from the glenorchy side, here are some options to consider:
1. the obviouse /easiest one - leave your car in the routeburn shelter car park, go as far as howden hut, and then return.
2. combine the routeburn with the caples valley or greenstone valley treks. this makes it a 4-5 days trip (i did the caples).in case you do that these are the transportation options:
* leave the car in glenorchy. book a transportaion to the routeburn shelter car park (18$ per person) and back from the greenstone/caples car park (19$ per person).
* leave the car in glenorchy, hitch hike to the routeburn shelter car park - preferabley early in the morning - and book a transportation back from the greenstone/caples car park.
* [starting the trek in the caples/greenstone valleys]again, leave the car in glenorchy. book a transportaion to the caples/greenstone carpark and hitch hike back to glenorchy from the routeburn shelter car park.

one last thing: if you are good walkers, and have not the time for 4-5 days trip, consider turnning the routeburn into a day trip. start early from the routeburn shelter car park and go up to harris saddle and return (you will miss the view of mckenzy lake, but....) the trek is really easy and greaded [not steep]. enjoy!!!

p.s.
1. this was one of my favourite treks.
2. in case you linger in glenorchy area, consider taking the rees dart trek as well [and the day trip to cascade saddle from the dart hut is a must]- it is STUNNING!!!
