Only a handful of official trails. Good views and dear I say it, you can't beat it on a good day. It's close to home and there is trails for walkers, runners and easy to hard mountainbiking

Well covered track. Lots of native bush and trees. And be sure to check out Te Ara Utiwai trail. ?

Panoramic views and a exciting walkway. Lots of adventure to be had. Come one come all and get amongst this tranquil place of paradise. Looking for the next part of the series which will be the gondola. Incredible, majestic, mysterious is some of the words one would use to describe this place. Excellent topography, and very mountainous. Colonial knob is challenging but a rewarding walkway. There is plenty of wildlife to spot whilst walking upwards to the top of the mountain. There is also biking tracks and predictively there will be more. This is a track for walkers, runners, and bikers that are prepared for a more intermediate to advanced grade of difficulty.

An enjoyable walk with lots of contrasting landscapes, took me 2.5 hours - walking slowly with lunch at the top. Take a windbreak so you don't get cold when you stop :)

Great place to walk. Went there 8th Jan and ended up doing the Summit loop walk. Roughly 8km worth. Went clockwise and the first leg up the hill was kinda tough, as I am low to medium fitness (and 50). The way down the hill was moderate sloped and easy walk. Great views at the top and at many points on the track and the terrain was quite varied on the way up.
