Guide

Leave the carpark, and head back up Aydon Road. A few hundred metres up, enter the bush via a marked pathway on your left. The trail is gravel and easy to follow - fairly flatish as you make your way through up the valley, before it gets a leeeeeetle bit steeper. There are steps and bridges across some of the smaller water courses near the top. At the top there's a carpark - you could always park here and do a down-and-up run, but I enjoy the switchbacks and zigzags on the descent. It's five minutes from Titirangi - which means hitting Deco afterwards for a post morning run latte is a winner.

In winter (or after a fair bit of rain) there's a waterfall.

Trail Reviews

Rob Holm

Short, well groomed track - really nice bush - loads of Nikau. Easy to add some more distance on if you want to.

Good track to practice that downhill running (and uphill walking ha!). Nice track surrounded by so much colour/bush.

Nice and short little number. Nothing too exciting - but a good little trainer for the leggies on the ups and downs. Nice little waterfall on the day I ran it too.
