Griffin Creek

Grade: Moderate

Starting from the Harrington Road bridge (West Coast) it is a steep climb to the bushline then a steep descent down a side ridge to the basin below. Then walk/boulder-hop up Griffin Creek crossing 7 times. 

 Griffin Hut (4-5 hours) has 4 bunks and an outdoor bath. There are mountain cedars round the hut, attractive rockpools, and we may see whio in the creek. Possibility of making a round trip via Rocky Creek.

Bring stove and tent. Moderate-Hard depending on track conditions.
