Information
Temple Basin walk
Time: 3 hr return
This track starts from above the bush-line at the SH 73 roadside car-park, five km north of Arthur’s Pass township. A nature photographer’s dream, the track zig-zags up the hill to an open tussock basin and the Temple Basin Ski Club buildings. On a clear day you get magnificent views of Mt Rolleston across the valley.

It was a good one hour hike up the hill, quite slippery on a way back though so wear appropriate shoes!
You're walking on the sunshine the whole hike and get all these amazing views -- highly recommended!

Perfect place to lose track of time.
An amazing hike up river, either over river stones with a glacial river by your side or through the bush. Either/or absolutely awesome.

Great great great!
LOTS of snow when we were there.
Knee-deep in the snow, going up. AMAZING views!

Rocky and steep but a tiring walk.
At the end a great view but not the best trail for children.
-
Stunning view, less people, public shelter at Arthurs Pass very good for cooking and relaxing/waiting (for better weather).
