SUMMARY:Mt Hope. Trip now Full.
URL;VALUE=URI:https://live.nelsontrampingclub.org.nz/component/jevents/1249/mt-hope-trip-
 now-full?Itemid=111&tmpl=component
DESCRIPTION:Mout Hope is 1244m. Route Description below..\nTrip will be running on Sund
 ay\nStill a few more places if you are keen.  UPDATE : Space for one more t
 o fill two cars. Unless we get another carload!\n\nThe route, marked by ora
 nge plastic triangles, begins as a vehicle track through broom and blackber
 ry, before quickly climbing steeply up a spur through forest mainly consist
 ing of red, hard and silver beech, with a scattering of podocarps like hall
 s totara and miro. After approx. 2 km the gradient of the spur lessens, and
  the surrounding bush transitions to a coarser, shorter mix of kanuka, yell
 ow silver pine and celery pine.\nAt 1000 m elevation, you’ll reach the begi
 nning of the ‘tops’, which are an undulating mix of stunted mountain beech 
 and kanuka, and tussock and sub-alpine scrub. The track is sandy underfoot,
  indicative of the underlying granite geology. The route continues to the l
 eft (southwest), climbing through patchy mountain beech and passing the int
 riguingly-shaped granite boulders that dot the landscape. Towards the summi
 t the route markers are less frequent; there is a lightly-worn path through
  the subalpine scrub though in places it’s a case of picking your own way. 
 The summit is not immediately obvious, though you should aim for the visibl
 y highest point. The summit is marked by a metal pipe trig and small cairn.
