A good cut marked track drops from Sparrowhawk Biv to the Makaroro / Gold Creek confluence. The initial section below the hut is steep and traverses the tops of steep slips - care is required. Below that the gradient become more pleasant and this is an easy walk.
A river crossing is required if heading downriver. The river is knee to thigh deep in normal flows, and an easy flat crossing - but can easily flood.
