Lyell Hut is at the head of the Rakaia (this hut had a makeover January 2002).
It has six bunks, stainless steel cooking bench, two dining tables and benches, pots and pans. Outside toilet. Mountain radio is now at the Reischek Hut, one and a half hours from Lyell.DOC rangers recently spent three days in the Rakaia valley, clearing and marking the track from Lyell Hut down to Reischek Hut. The result is that there no longer any need to cross the swing bridge to the true left of the Lyell and then ford the river back to the Hut

Dave Adam provided this lovely shot of Lyell when visited in Dec 2007.
