The Haast-Paringa Cattle Track was built in 1875 to take cattle from from the Landsborough and Cascade valleys north to sale yards at Whataroa, a two-week journey at best. It was used for 90 years until the Haast Pass Highway made it redundant. It is now a 33-km three-day tramp with three huts: Blue River (Blowfly), Coppermine Creek, and Māori Saddle.
