1.5hr+ 200m west along the track from Trevor Carter, the Lost Valley route to Helicopter Flats is signposted Follow markers through tall tutu and toetoe, dropping into the Lost Valley Creek. 50m upriver a marker shows the point to climb out on the eastern bank. A good cut, marked track runs from here over the saddle. The climb is gentle, and the descent steep. The Karamea must be crossed at the end of the track: knee deep in normal flows, but easily floodable after rain. Helicopter Flats Hut is 100m downriver on the opposite bank.
