Waikato Pinnacles Hut, Pinnacles and Billy Goat Track

Starting early enough plus a high level of fitness would allow this tramp to be completed as a day walk. Mortals are better off walking in to the Pinnacles Hut and after lunch going for a walk or run up to the actual Pinnacles then overnighting in the hut. Next day is a relaxing walk out via the Billy Goat Track which does have the odd steep section when a part of the old incliner railway is traversed. This area is full of history and artifacts including Dancing Camp Dam, Hydro Camp and Billy Goat Landing with an overall altitude gain of over 1000 metres over around 17kilometres on the GPS.
Day 1. 6.2kms 2 hrs 20 mins
Day 2, 8.8kms 3 hr 10 mins +/-1000m
