Did the coopers creek loop in 7hr in the rain. Walked to Ryde Falls before reaching the summit. There’s a nice campsite just by the stream at Ryde Falls! Would be super keen to spend a night there, listening to the waterfall. The send is over 1200m, but really worth it. It was very cloudy, so didn’t get much of a view. But still a stunning hike! Absolutely in love with the forest.

Amazing views and walking tracks The walk to the Ryde Falls is amazing. Just note that the area is full of sandflies durin the summer, so don't forget to have insect repellent spray with you :-)

Fresh snow making for a superb Tramp to the Summit. Warning the Summit loop back to Coopers Carpark is significantly longer than the DOC information 8 hour round trip. Signage at Summit doesn't include Tramp hour or distance or mention of Coopers Carpark onward journey only hence in the direction you came. Misleading as if you continue the so called expected loop back to Coopers add 2.5 hours . You actually end up near View Hill Carpark after a 4 hour Tramp with a signage advising distance to Coopers still a further 2.5 hours tracking along the bottom of Mt Oxford range. My daughter and I were caught out with fading daylight temp -1 after 8 hour Tramping Summit loop to discover we still had another 2.5 hours back to the car at Coopers Carpark. DOC certainly caused us tremendous emotional strain and anxiety having to raise the alarm family in Christchurch to rescue us from View Hill Carpark. Definitely could have been a grave outcome especially as our cellphone coverage was almost non existent. Would suggest to all in Tramping to the Summit from Coopers Carpark 'return' the same way you came.

Great hike to mount Oxford and Rydes fall. Around 7 hours loop from Coopers Creek car park (with plenty of stops for photos and lunch). The hike to the summit is pretty steep around 2h30 but the view up there is really nice. From the top is mainly down hill till the fall. Around 2 hours. And finally a good 2 hours to get back to the car park. Well marked and well maintained path. The fall is pretty nice too.
