A beautiful and historic area the
Karangahake Gorge is easy driving on good roads with a section of
several kms with tight curves needs slow speed and careful
driving.
There are several rest
places along the way where drivers can pull off the road and
enjoy this wonderful scenic area. And a walking track
Trains ran through the gorge many years ago, now the old rail line is a walking track
