Beautiful scenery passed King's Hut when the Wangapeka flows into a narrow gorge twenty meters below the benched track. Stone hut has wood stove and veranda. Weka, whio and robins are the close neighbours. A well marked track follows Stone creek through a pleasant mossy mixed forest. The imposing pyramid of Mt. Luna gives unlimited views at the 1578 m top. But there is still a long walk on the ridge, sharp and intimidating at places, followed by the descent through the dry beech forest (7 h). From Kiwi saddle hut the benched track goes back to the Wangapeka valley (6 h). Another option would be over Mt. Patriarch ridge and the rough Gibbs track (8 h) or further to John Reid hut and Chummies track.

A spectacular ridge route leads to Mount Luna and to Stone River Valley for a beautiful round trip.
