Access and description
1 min from Murchison
The walkway begins at the car park on the western side of the SH6 Matakitaki River Bridge, just outside of Murchison.
The walkway zig-zags up the hillside at a consistent gradient. The surrounding bush is mainly regenerating, with remnant beech and scattered podocarps towering above. At the top, two lookouts provide views over Murchison and the surrounding ranges and valleys.
Return the way you came.
