 Usually the track is walked in an anti-clockwise direction, meaning the first night is spent at "Okaka Lodge" which is over 900 metres up on the hump ridge itself.From this vantage point there are panoramic views of Fiordland and the sea to the south, including Stewart Island and neighbouring smaller islands.The track crosses three large viaducts (including the impressive Percy Burn Viaduct), with a fourth visible from the track but off-limits to walkers.
