Itinerary:

The hike to South Buller Pass is a well-defined trail. From there to North Buller, we hike cross country through open alpine terrain. Four weeks ago this route was impassable because of snow, but by this time it will likely be passable. If not, we will return the way we came. Descending the steep, rocky west side of North Buller is an exercise in self control, but we soon reach walkable terrain where a path is soon evident.

Required Items to Bring:
Rain wear, sunglasses, sunscreen and plenty of water.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Hat with a brim
