Spectacularly barren rocky alpine terrain gives way to a tussock grass-filled valley. With delicate alpine plants, a river crossing, boardwalks over eerie alpine bog-land, beech forest, and stunning views of Mt Ruapehu, this walk has much to offer, all without having to climb over a mountain!
Difficulty: Moderate
Allow: 6-8 hours
Distance: 10 - 14km
Total Climb: 420 -500m
Total Descent: 420-500m
Not a busy track, it is one of the places to go to avoid crowds and enjoy the solitude of the wilderness.
With lots of variety in the landsacape and lots of choices to make the walk longer if you wish, we can add on a little extra distance with some variations to our route.
