The loop track is a pleasant walk through alpine rainforest
Veronica Loop Track
Located in Egmont National Park and North Egmont area in the Taranaki region
Introduction
This is pleasant walk uphill through changing alpine rainforest, with an optional detour to a lookout point offering views of the mountain and out to the coast.
Follow the boardwalk past the Camphouse. From here the track leads past Ambury Monument and climbs a long series of steps. At the next junction the track loops back to the visitor centre through kamahi and Hall’s tōtara forest.
Alternatively, from the junction, continue up the Holly Hut Track for 10 minutes to reach a popular lookout point.
The track starts at the North Egmont Visitor Centre. 13 km south of New Plymouth, in Egmont Village, turn off SH23 into North Egmont Road. The visitor centre is signposted at the junction. Follow North Egmont Road for 16 km to the end.
Weather on the mountain changes rapidly - be well prepared with suitable clothing for all weather.
