This is quite an easy walk, ideal for families wanting a day trip or an overnight stay. It starts off coming down through steep farmland and enters the bush via a fantastically curved bridge. This walk has some steady climbs, but nothing steep or too challenging. The track is very well marked with DOC markers along the way. The final part of the walk is a bit more challenging than the beginning with more of an uphill climb, and then you reach a fork which directs you either to Heritage Hut or Ōroua Flats. If you take the Heritage Hut turn, it’s another 5 minutes.  Once there you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the ranges and bush.
