The track starts at the Raspberry Creek car park, 54 km west of Wanaka on the Wanaka-Mount Aspiring Road. The last 30 km are unsealed.

Lovely day trip, you can hire a car in town for around $90 and head out Mount Aspiring Road until you get to the carpark. All well sign posted and a really cool one day hike up the glacier. Take a picnic. reasonable standard of fitness needed.
