The walk is easy to do as a day loop .Allow six hours including a break for food at Keppel's hut.
It is not that interesting walking on fire trails but the birds were singing and the air was clean and many plants were in bloom.
The weather was not hot which always makes for more enjoyable walking.
Maybe try walking this loop clock wise so that the last section becomes a simple downhill walk along the Royston return ski trail.
Walking anti clock wise the last climb up from the concrete bridge at the Upper Taggerty River is not steep but steady.
I wish there was rope tow for Royston ski trail in winter. That would be good but a nutcracker ski tow at Lake Mtn.? ....
Dream on!!
