Growly Bear: It appears the replacement cache has now disappeared and the original disabling is still in place.

View from GZ


The views and the sights are worth every bit of the effort to complete this magnificent trip. The 18km Alpine hike will take 6-8 hours - definitely not recommended for kids under 10 years or "muffintop" teenagers. Be prepared with polarfleece and raincoats for sudden weather changes from warm sun to biting cold winds and snow - even in summer. Boots are essential as you will be clambering up and over loose rocks and scrambling down rattly scree slopes. Public transport is available from Turangi, Ohakune, National Park and Rangipo to drop hikers off at Mangaetepopo and collect their weary bones at the Ketetahi carpark .
