North Boundary provides an optional detour accessible from Faulkners Track. If you are ascending the track up towards Summit Road, North Boundary heads off through the bush in a steep gully approximately two-thirds of the way up - watch carefully for the small sign. It re-joins Faulkners a short distance from the top. The tracks in Ohinetahi are managed by the Summit Road Society(external link). You can find maps and more information about the area on their website. |
