Description |
The track starts in a historic area, where there is an old farmstead, a sheepdip, a woolshed and ruined hits. From there it winds for 1.5 km up through beech forest to the bushline, crossing the stream several times on the eay. It has its challenges but is relatively easy and undemanding. From the bushline, though, it's possible to continue for another 4 km, up to the saddle and then down into the Aruhiri East Branch to the derelict East Aruhiri Hut. This section of the path, though, is unmarked and indictinct - so is much more demanding. |
