The track initially follows an old bush tramway, which was used to extract logs. Continue straight on though a mosaic of regenerating trees before climbing to an open highpoint.
The return leg is through bush with some extensive stands of kānuka. Turn right at the track junction back to the car park.
The track is steep in places and the surface maybe slippery following rain. Muddy sections may be present.
