Route/Trail notes

A detailed description of the walk!

Follow the fire trail / 4wd trail up until the sign posted turn off to Mihiwaka. Follow the single trail to the top then return and backtrack to the Mount Kettle sign. From here go up and over Mt Kettle be careful coming down the fair side of Mt Kettle as its steep and slippery. Finally head up to Mt Cutten where just past the summit there's a turn off to a lookout with a bench & a small sculpture. Then return to the track down to the reservior and link back up with the 4wd / firetrail to the car. Alternatively from Mt Cutten you can follow a track down to Mt Cargill Rd or before venturing up Mt Cutten there are tracks following the creek down to the road.
