From Hunters Hut, either cross the north branch of the Wanganui above the forks, or use the cableway/cage 1km upriver. The route follows the TR (north) bank to the roadend. A brief marked track sidles above Annoyance Bluff, but the remainder of the route is riverbed / riverbank on gravel and stones. Mystie Creek is bridged, and all other sidecreeks are minor. Real flood conditions will cover the route along the riverbanks though and make the track impassable.

You hit the end of an old 4WD track at Canopy Bluff, but after 300m that veers north onto proivate land and the public track is roughly cut through bush along the river escarpment. You soon rejoin the road however, and follow it to the carpark at the power house / info kiosk at the 2WD roadend.
