Description

This is a very steep little track that zigzags down a gully off the main Mount Lowry track.

The track surface is mostly compacted dirt with occasional exposed tree roots.

The bottom of this track is rather awkwardly located, emerging into a small clearing on the edge of Wainuiomata Road – a 4 lane road in a 80 km/h zone. The bottom of Puriri is 0.3km down hill, in a much larger open area, though getting there will involve walking along the gutter of Wainuiomata Road for 0.1km, which isn't recommended as a fun activity.

Getting there

Bottom is in a small grassy area off Wainuiomata Road.

Top meets Mount Lowry via a stile at a well sign-posted T-intersection.

Other notes

Like most tracks in this area, bikes are not permitted.

Length

0.50km
