Looking west nearer the Nikau Valley end.  The power lines spoil the view a little.

We walked this today as yesterday’s weather wasn’t the best.  We recommend starting from the Nikau Valley end which is a little way up the Nikau Valley road (take the Lindale turnoff on SH1) as the gradient is gentler than from the south entrance.   Signage on the track is inadequate, hopefully that will be rectified.
