Description |
This long trail is best done from north to south to avoid the steepest climbs. While the central section is in the Tararua Forest Park, it starts in plantation forest, on a gravel track, and ends in the south with a 3 km walk along a 4WD track. On the climb up to summit at 500 metres, there are some good views westwards, and then some good bush-walking as the track descends into the Tokomoru Valley to follow the river most of the rest of the way. |
