This is a neat piece of singletrack through a pleasant bush setting. While it isn't technical, some of the switchbacks can be a little tricky - especially when climbing in the wet.

Combine this track with S Bend and Fenceline to form a complete circuit of the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary.

In a couple of places there are detours, where the track briefly splits into alternative paths - one slightly easier than the other. These detours are only a few metres long.

Access Info

From the Wrights Hill viewing platform, follow the sealed path that drops down below the platform and then into the bush. Alternatively, follow Fenceline to just below the summit of Wrights Hill. At the point where Fenceline dives down an extremely steep section, this track branches off into the bush.
