Notes
A 6-bunk S70 NZFS hut built in 1968 by Paul Gush & Max Cole. It has been substabtially modified from original design. It was adopted & maintained by the Horowhenua Hunters Club between 2005 & 2023. The Greater Wellington Backcountry Network (GWBN) completed some maintenance & repainted the hut in 2023. See https://tarhc.org.nz/our-huts/dorset-ridge-hut/ Edit Hut

Equal with Maungahuka, imho, for best site in the Tararuas. Miss the old pale blue paint scheme.
