Description |
Coopers Knob (Omawete) is the highest point on the Port Hills (573m) and offers panoramic views over the plains and up Lyttelton Harbour. You can pick up the track directly from Summit Road, just north of the Gibraltar Rock car park. The summit is a short detour from the Crater Rim Walkway and requires some easy rock scrambling. |
