A long weekend bash from Ohau up the grandly proportioned Hopkins Valley with great huts and camping spots. It’s a feast for fatbikes with numerous river crossings and river bed travel and an outstanding alpine setting.
The Hopkins Valley is a gem, and a fave of ours for loading up the fatbikes and taking the path less pedalled.
