About

The Gates of Haast is a gorge on the Haast River in Mount Aspiring National Park in the South Island of New Zealand. It is located 56 kilometres (35 mi) inland by road from the township of Haast and 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from the summit of Haast Pass. The Gates of Haast has sheer rock cliffs above a steep cascade in the Haast River. State Highway 6 crosses the gorge on a single-lane Callender-Hamilton steel truss bridge.
