The Te Aroha hut was
removed in late 2005 (Kaimai forest park, NI). It was run down but still a
great shelter from the wicked winds on the ridge behind Mt Te Aroha. It was at
the top of the ridge between the Waitawheta valley and the Waiorongomai valley.
There is no longer any shelter at this point. Picture courtesy of David Whyte |
