Guide

The track is well signposted, and as an out and back track, with only one other track turn off halfway up there isn't much room for you to get lost. The track is easy to follow, single track with the typical tramping track with the odd bog or windfall, roots, rocks etc. A simple hut available at the turning point with the only chance for a few out to the coast or up the mountain, with a toilet (long drop).

Great views out to the Western Taranaki coast from the Hut.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.

There is carparking available for 10+ cars, not normally that busy.
