Stunning views over the Canterbury Plains and down through the Bowenvale Valley. Along with the Bowenhill Downhill, this is the oldest MTB track on the Port Hills.
Grade: 3, intermediate. Steep slopes, rougher sections, some narrow tracks, avoidable obstacles.
Start/finish: Either Thomsons car park off Summit Road or from the top of Huntsbury Track off Summit Road.
Access: Turn left at the Sign of the Kiwi onto Summit Road. Drive/bike approximately 1 km east along Summit Road to Thomsons car park. This car park is where most downhill runs start in Victoria Park.
Signs: Posted at each end.
Description: From the car park, turn right onto a smooth gravel track in the pine forest. Continue along the two-way track weaving into tussock country just below Summit Road.
From the Huntsbury Track end the track descends quicker and is faster to ride.
