The Lovely Lewis Pass and Maruia Valley
Manage episode 353776793 series 3197435
ONE of my favourite parts of New Zealand is the Lewis Pass / Maruia Valley area in the middle of the northern half of the Southern Alps.
You get there by way means of State Highway (SH) 7, which runs through the area. One of the best multi-day hikes that you can do in the vicinity of the Lewis Pass is the St James Walkway, named after the former St James Station upon which most of the walkway’s sixty-six kilometres is located.
There are numerous other tramps off to the side of SH 7 in the Lewis Pass / Maruia Valley area, such as the Lake Daniell tramp, Lake Christabel, the Lewis Tops Track which begins on the western side of SH 7 from a spot near the northern road-end of the St James Walkway, and others.
