Topo50 maps show tracks that have been permanently closed to prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease.
Recommended for experienced trampers only.
From the Wires Track or the Maratoto Track on the Maratoto side, or the Wentworth Falls Walk on the Wentworth side, it's possible to traverse the range.
On the Maratoto side, access the track from Wires Rd, off Maratoto Rd. From the Wentworth side, access the track from Wentworth Valley Rd.
Before you go into the outdoors, tell someone your plans and leave a date and time to raise the alarm if you haven't returned. To do this, use the New Zealand Outdoors Intentions process on the AdventureSmart website. It is endorsed by New Zealand's search and rescue agencies and provides three simple options to tell someone you trust the details about your trip.
