Favourite hiking destination in Auckland. Also location of popular mountain biking park. The weather can change suddenly and the track conditions can change if it has been raining. A map can be found in the bookcase (please leave it at the house). For hikes I would suggest you head to the Arataki Visitors Centre on Scenic Drive.
