This one is not hard to find. Only need to walk about 5 meters to
the Cach
Mt. Reeves is a nice little peak on the eastern side of
the
Tararua ranges, north of Wellington. It has a modest height of
899m
but an old fire has opened up the bush on the summit. There
are
good views over the patchwork of farmland in the Wairarapa
plains
and west into the hills (see above). It has the distinction
of
being part of the original route over the southern Tararuas,
first
pioneered in the 1930's. This went from Woodside in the
Wairarapa,
over Mt. Reeves and down into the Tauherenikau Valley and then
up
onto Marchant Ridge to follow the modern route.
