Foggy Peak is located in the Korowai Tussocklands Park in the Canterbury Foothills. It's a challenging day hike suitable for experienced and fit trampers only. The track is steep and unmarked with difficult rocky sections and lots of loose gravel.

The trail starts from the layby at the top of Porters Pass where you can park your vehicle. The route up Foggy Peak is an indistinct trail which weaves its way through rock and tussock to the summit. At the start you just hop over the barrier and make your way through shrubs before breaking into scree and animals tracks that you’ll end up following to the summit. You will have to make your own way up following the easiest path looking for the parts most well trodden along the way.

We climbed Foggy Peak in the late afternoon to be there for sunset. It was a difficult climb and not one that I am in a hurry to attempt again. The views were amazing from the top and well worth it. Take your wide angle lens with you and a mid range zoom lens, plus be equipped for scrambling and it gets very cold up the top.
