Mount Haast (1,587 metres or 5,207 feet) is a hill located near Springs Junction, in the Buller District of New Zealand.[1] The hill is prominent when approaching Springs Junction from the south-east on State Highway 7, where the pyramidal shape gives the (wrong) impression of a volcanic cone. The hill was named after the German-born geologist Julius von Haast by James Mackay (1831–1912).[2]

Description

Mount Haast (left of centre) in the 1930s

Mount Haast is located near Rahu Saddle on State Highway 7, between Springs Junction and Reefton. It is accessible via a walking track that starts just off State Highway 7. It is a moderate six-hour return trip from the car park (challenging during winter).[3]

Mount Haast was named by James Mackay. Mackay named two peaks after Haast; the other Mount Haast is a mountain (3,114 metres or 10,217 feet) just off the Main Divide in Westland District.[2][4]
