Located in Tongariro National Park in the Central North Island region
This short walk provides excellent views of a beautiful waterfall close to the road. Here, not far below the bushline, the beech forest is stunted because of the harsh climate. Spectacular icicles form around the falls in winter.
Start from the car park 16 km up Ohakune Mountain Road.
