Orari Gorge Track

The track initially follows an old bush tramway, which was used to extract logs. Continue straight on through a mosaic of regenerating trees before climbing to an open highpoint.

The return leg is through the bush with some extensive stands of kānuka. Turn right at the track junction back to the car park.
