Description |
From the end of Cullensville Road, the route follows an old miners' track, at a steady grade, until it climbs steeply up to an old hut. From there, the going is harder and the track less clear (pole-marked) through pine forest and bracken until it reaches a grassy clearing, from which it's a stiff climb up to Waikakaho Saddle. Dogs are not permitted beyond the saddle. |
