Tribulation Hut is a small musterers’ hut in Hakatere Conservation Area, and is tucked behind Mt Hutt ski field. It is approximately a 4 hour (10 km) walk in. The track starts from Redcliffe Stream and is initially through bush and along the stream (as parts of the track were washed away in floods about a year ago). Once at the hut we can drop our packs here and walk another hour (each way) to Cookies Hut, which is another 6 bunk hut.
