Joe Gibbs Memorial Hut


Saturday 20/12/2014
A good evening wander into dogs barking, ciggies, and whisky at Tutuwai hut. Got there before the rain and needing a torch. Interesting evening yakking with two others, from them learnt of Joe Gibbs Memorial Hut.

Gidday. How far up the R stream is Joe Gibbs memorial hut? Is it visible from stream itself? Am planning a trip past cone and might pop into see this one. Cheers- Weka

The hut is accessed up the true left bank side of Rogers Stream. The track is fairly straightforward to find from the main track that continues on to tutuwai hut.
