HOPKINS VALLEY: *** Easy
flats to halfway from Dodger hut to Erceg hut, then becoming significantly
more rough with boulder hopping. Tiny but nice 4 bunk huts, with
increasingly spectacular setting when getting higher and deeper into the
valley. Beautiful day walks from every hut, exploring side valleys (North
Elcho, Thomson, Richardson Glacier).
NORTH AND SOUTH TEMPLE VALLEYS: ****
Islands of beautiful native forest and flora in a quiet area.
