This is an easy in-and-out walk of almost 15km distance taking 4 – 5 hours including rest and lunch stops. The path is part of the Round The Mountain track and runs from the Ohakune Mountain Road to the Mangaehuehu Hut passing the path for the Blyth Hut en-route. There are several swing bridges to cross, a few stream crossings to negotiate, many sections of boardwalk and several, some as yet, un-bridged, gullies to cross. There are a couple of seats for the weary to sit down and admire the view of the mountain – on a clear day. Most of the path from the car-park for the first hour is in superb condition whilst the remainder is of variable quality but a great deal of work is being / has been done by DOC .
