Trail description
This is a climbing trail off Back Track that goes up through native bush into the heart of the park.
Running at an average 4.5% gradient, this trail was specifically put in to give riders an easier ride up to the top of the park.
The lovely vista on the way up and the beautiful finish belie the effort that went into its construction. Many weeks were spent getting this trail right, and the result is one of the nicest climbing trails anywhere in the country.
Built by SouthStar Trails in 2016.
Getting there
This awesome climbing trail starts on the left 600m up from the bridge at the beginning of Back Track.
Getting out
Once at the top of Pūpū Rahi, turn through the culvert to your right, and you will be at the Culvert Hub on Zigzag Road.
