Hope Saddle (634 m or 2,080 ft above sea level) is a saddle located south of Richmond, in the Hope Range of the northern South Island.[1] It lies above the Clark Valley.[2]
In 1871 a track was cut over the Hope Saddle ensuring there was a route from Westport to Nelson.[3] Horse-drawn vehicles began using the track in 1879.[1] This track would become part of State Highway 6.[1] The view from the Hope Saddle is regarded as being "magnificent".[4]
