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 native bush is mainly regenerating, with remnant beech and a scattering of podocarps towering above. At the top, two lookouts with seats provide views over Murchison and the surrounding ranges and valleys.
