Write Up:We were at the parking lot by 8:45 and started hiking at 8:55. The
parking lot was virtually empty. The hike of 17.7 km and 1,030 m.
elevation gain took us 6 hours with a break for lunch at the top of
Buller Pass North. The sun shone all day long and both South and North
Buller were bright and sunny. The various falls, including the
"bathtub" at the fork in the trail were impressive with melt water
from the melting snow fields still feeding them. We saw a dusting of
snow on Sparrowhawk. The valley between the passes was fun to traverse
and we could see Quinn Pass, Ribbon Lake and even the Sparrowhawk
tarns from the pass. They were a sight to behold. Great group,
wonderful day in the mountains.
