Description
Lovely loop run that is a deviation from Boulder Hill, so can be extended onto Boulder Hill summit and other trails in Belmont if desired and the Puke Ariki traverse. The loop starts with an uphill trail and then is undulating around the loop as it connects with Boulder Hill track for the descent back down to the carpark.
