Siberia - Young Route Map

The Siberia valley is a hanging valley of the Wilken valley about halfway between Makaroa and the Wilken Top. Once in the valley, river flats extend up valleys for 16 kilometres. Siberia hut is a pleasant spot with a good day trip to Lake Crucible - a small circular lake high up under Mt Alba. This lake has ice and snow floating in it all year round. It is often completely frozen over. Snow dops from the snow fields above straight into the lake

Gillespie Stream, an hour up valley from Siberia hut, leads to Gillespie Pass giving access to the head of the Young valley. There is good camping just at bushline before the track starts climbing up a ridge towards the pass. Over the pass the Young valley gives straight forward tramping back to the Makaroa river. There is a hut at bushline and many camp spots in the valley.
