Deception River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Deception River
The Deception River is a river in New Zealand. It is a tributary of the West Coast's Otira River, flowing generally north for from its source on the slopes of Mount Franklin. It passes close to Goat Pass, which gives access to the Mingha River. Almost the entire length of the river is within the Arthur's Pass National Park. The river was once called "Goat Creek". It was surveyed about 1900 as a possible alternative route for the Midland Line, and the surveyor warned that the water levels could be deceiving. About three months later, a flood from the river into the Otira Valley caused several thousand pounds worth of damage to the railway, and the river was given its current name. The Department of Conservation maintains a tramping track alongside the river, and it is part of the annual Coast to Coast race.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arthur's Pass: Mingha - Deception route )〕 Backcountry huts are available for trampers; one near Goat Pass〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Goat Pass Hut )〕 and another a little further down the river.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Upper Deception Hut )〕 ==See also==
