Over the next few days I will upload photos from Pirongia Forest Park. Come join me and discover all the interesting things!
The green slopes of Mt Pirongia can be found 25km south of Hamilton. With a range of easy to more challenging options, the Pirongia walks provide a rejuvenating experience amongst lush native forest and clear mountain streams.
The Mangakara Nature Walk
(We started off with this easy track, but will definitely go back to discover the other more challenging options!)
The Mangakara Nature Walk on Mt Pirongia is an enjoyable one hour circuit through native forest.
The easy track meanders through ancient forest past large rimu, kahikatea, tawa, pukatea and kohekohe trees and crosses over the Mangakara stream before looping back around.
Educational signs describe point of interest and the mountains history along the way with something new to discover at each station.
