This short 1.2 km track provides an intimate look at the region's backcountry character, taking you through terrain that rewards careful navigation and observation. While the gentle grades won't test your vehicle's climbing ability, you'll find the real value lies in accessing remote areas and experiencing the landscape that defines this part of New Zealand's South Island.

The driving experience here emphasizes precision over aggression. You should approach this route with attention to detail, as unmapped trails in this region often present surprises in ground conditions and obstacles.
