Harper Pass (original) (raw)
Harper Pass (elevation 962 metres or 3,156 feet), previously known as Hurunui Pass or sometimes Taramakau Pass, is an alpine pass between Canterbury and the West Coast in New Zealand. It was the most important crossing for Māori to obtain pounamu. The first European crossed the pass in 1857 and the leader of the second party later that year, Leonard Harper, gave the pass its current name. It was of some interest to the settlers as the West Coast was part of Canterbury Province and it remained the only feasible route for some years. When the West Coast Gold Rush started in 1864, it became a heavily used crossing and remained so until October 1865, when a dray road over Arthur's Pass opened.

| dbo:abstract | Harper Pass (elevation 962 metres or 3,156 feet), previously known as Hurunui Pass or sometimes Taramakau Pass, is an alpine pass between Canterbury and the West Coast in New Zealand. It was the most important crossing for Māori to obtain pounamu. The first European crossed the pass in 1857 and the leader of the second party later that year, Leonard Harper, gave the pass its current name. It was of some interest to the settlers as the West Coast was part of Canterbury Province and it remained the only feasible route for some years. When the West Coast Gold Rush started in 1864, it became a heavily used crossing and remained so until October 1865, when a dray road over Arthur's Pass opened. The Arthur's Pass route was upgraded in March 1866 to coach traffic standard, and the much less direct route over Harper Pass fell out of use. It was restored in the 1930s as a tramping route and the Harper Pass Track, a four or five-day tramp, is today part of Te Araroa over its entire length. (en) El paso de Harper (Harper Pass, elevación 962 metros (1052,1 yd)), anteriormente conocido como Hurunui Pass o, a veces, Taramakau Pass, es un paso alpino entre Canterbury y la costa oeste de Nueva Zelanda. Fue el cruce más importante para que los maoríes obtuvieran pounamu (piedras verdes usadas para tallar).El primer europeo cruzó el paso en 1857 y más tarde ese año , miembro del parlamento, le dio al paso su nombre actual. Fue de cierto interés para los colonos, ya que la costa oeste formaba parte de la provincia de Canterbury y siguió siendo la única ruta viable durante algunos años. Cuando comenzó la fiebre del oro de la Costa Oeste en 1864, se convirtió en un cruce muy utilizado y permaneció así hasta octubre de 1865, cuando se abrió una carretera de arrastre sobre el paso de Arthur. El paso de Arthur se mejoró en marzo de 1866 para cumplir con el estándar de tráfico de autobuses, y la ruta sobre paso de Harper dejó de usarse al ser mucho menos directa. El paso de Harper fue restaurado en la década de 1930 como ruta de tramping (literalmente, vagabundeo. Hace referencia a mochileo) y el Harper Pass Track, un tramping de cuatro o cinco días, es hoy parte de la senda Te Araroa en toda su extensión. (es) |
