Earnslaw Burn

Edited: Mar 4

Earnslaw Burn is a beautiful walk up the valley following the Earnslaw Burn stream through the trees, once you break out of the trees you get an amazing view of the snowy peaks and if you go far enough you can see the glacier. The track is mostly maintained but does get quite rough and technical. 7-8 hour return to the rock shelter moving at a moderate pace.

    Sugar Loaf Pass - Moderate

    You can simply walk up to the pass from the Routeburn Track and return the same way (5 hrs return), but a nicer option is to walk the loop via the Rockburn and Lake Sylvan. Takes about 8 to 9 hours on the whole. Loop can be walked clockwise or anticlockwise – we’ve often had two groups walking opposite directions. Good side-trip from the pass to elevation 1290.
