Hope Saddle
Hope Saddle ( above sea level) is a saddle located south of Richmond, in the Hope Range of the northern South Island. It lies above the Clark Valley. In 1871 a track was cut over the Hope Saddle ensuring there was a route from Westport to Nelson. Horse-drawn vehicles began using the track in 1879. This track would become part of State Highway 6. The view from the Hope Saddle is regarded as being "magnificent".
