Also known as: Sifty

Location: Southern Suburbs, Wellington, New Zealand

Overview:
Loop off Sinclair Park to a lookout over Houghton Bay.

Grade: Intermediate

Access: Bike and Foot

Description:
This short loop track is best done from west to east, as the western half of the track is rather steep. Parts of the track are indistinct as you head down the western hillside, but watch out for the intermittent yellow markers attached to trees and you'll be fine.

Near the middle of this track there is a short no exit branch that ends with a seat and lookout over Houghton Bay. It's well worth stopping to admire the inspiring view.

Getting there:
The top (western) end is 20m from a T-intersection on Sinclair Park where a branch goes off to Buckley Road.

The bottom (eastern) end rejoins Sinclair Park further down the hill.

Length: 0.52km

Conditions: Single track
