Great trail with lots of turns into jumps into turns. The last past of the trail becomes very steep and requires good bike control while descending and corning.

Unknown Trail Builders. It has been mentioned it is a joint effort between Wellington MTB and Wainuiomata Trail Park. But this is just speculation at this stage.

Access Info

Willis Grove straight up the Fire Road or you can take Ride/Push up Harry Todd Track from Hine Rd.
