Summary
The most popular tramp in the lightly used Kaimanawa Forest Park features ex-
posed sections across the tops, and a pretty river valley.
As well as its scenic attractions, this tramp is one of the easiest to reach in the forest park. It
includes tramping through the Waipakihi River Valley, down an unmarked route along a ri-
verbed which allows some liberating following of your nose. The circuit can be tramped in
either direction, but is described here starting at the Umukarikari Track, and looping around
in a clockwise direction.
