Description |
Rapanui Bush is a small pocket of bush at the head of the valley and a pleasant and interesting contrast from the open terrain that dominates these slopes. The track is a short but vital link enabling you to connect the Captain Thomas Track to Scarborough Bluffs Track or pop up to Evans Pass to meet the Crater Rim Walkway. |
