South Mathias River

Type:

Valley

Access:

Travel along the South Mathias River is straightforward, generally utilising the true right. Despite
providing access to four peaks on the Main Divide, the valley is rarely visited by mountaineers. The
col at the head of the river is informally known as Observation Col (1816 metres) and leads to Cattle
Stream and hence the Rakaia River via a straightforward crossing.
