Powell-Jumbo Loop + McGregor Biv - Tararua Overnighter

On this trip I head up into the Tararua Ranges for an overnight trip to walk the Powell-Jumbo loop, staying at Jumbo Hut overnight with -5 degree temperatures outside. With a side trip along the snowy tops to McGregor Biv in clear weather, I return to walk the ridge to Mt Holdsworth and Powell Hut before walking out out the carpark.

What an amazing day to be up there. That loop is one of my favs but I dont think I've ever seen it that still and clear. Seen plenty of terrible days lol surprise surprise. What an awesome effort dude. I was stoked to get to Atiwhakatu in just over 2 hours and you smashed in just over an hour ya animal. Another banger mate. Can't wait to see where you take us next. Keep em coming. 👍

No hut wardens eh. Powell has changed, since I was last there. For chill factor, Kime Hut on the Tararua Traverse cannot be beaten. Nicknamed "The Icebox" for obvious reasons. Am enjoying these experiences, from the comfort of my armchair. Thank you for sharing. Take care and all the very best.
