This grade 3 trail requires a 4×4 vehicle and the 6km route will take approximately 2 hours to complete. The route is generally available year round, but the conditions during the changing seasons ensure the route presents different challenges in each season. Novice drivers will find as much pleasure from the trail as experienced drivers as there are challenges and tricky rocky sections that will ensure you’re concentrating through these sections.
During the summer months low range vehicles are necessary thanks to the full rivers and mossy boulders. You will follow the path of the river on this trail until you reach a rather flat spot at the top of a hill from here you’ll loop back on the same path, but don’t think you’ll get off lightly the return route will present its own exciting challenges.
