| Description |
Well, I made it to the top! There a sign read: "Maharahara Viewpoint 1095 metres above sea level". But from there all I could see was scrub which reached above my head. Had to hold my camera high above my head in order to shoot over the dense scrub to get this hand-held panorama looking northwards. Quite a slog (at least for me) getting up there - about 5 km with an elevation gain of 780m. Track is rated as 'Difficult'. "Maharahara Peak Track is a well defined but often muddy track that climbs steeply through typical southern Ruahine rimu, kamahi and tawa forest. Higher up the track passes through more shrubby species such as horopito, flax and pink pine. From here it heads across a series of open, rocky knolls to Mt Maharahara. The scratchy, leathery leaved shrub leatherwood is evident on the tops here. The southern Ruahine ranges have the largest, unbroken mass of leatherwood in New Zealand.". <a href="https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/manawatu-whanganui/places/ruahine-forest-park/things-to-do/tracks/maharahara-peak-track/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/manawat...</a> |
