Introduction
This track is an old, bulldozed road and now makes an excellent tramping track to Dons Spur.Dog access
The track passes through tall, red beech forest at the head of the Donald River, then climbs gradually through thick, sub alpine vegetation to Dons Spur.
The wide track stops abruptly beside a huge, steep scree slip. From here there is an excellent outlook – north to Makahu Saddle, south into the Donald River.
Kaweka Road is located 65 km north-west of Napier. From Napier follow Puketitiri Road for 36 km before turning left into Whittle Road. Kaweka Road is the first road on the right.
Whittle Road passes partly through farmland before reaching the park entrance. Leave all gates as found.
This road may be closed at times during winter because of snow.
