Description

Welcome to the Rangituhi Trails! Lower Utiwai is where you can start making your way up the hill through a mix of regrowing and canopy forest. There are a couple seats with spectacular views if you need a breather. This trail is a much welcome replacement way to get above Chimney Sweep.
