Mountain Road, Western Heights, Rotorua
This park just on the outskirts of Rotorua is where to take a walk if you want to get away from the commercialism of town. The Ngongotaha Nature Loop is well regarded, it starts at Violet Bonnington Reserve off paradise valley road. The Jubilee Track, cut on January 29 1890, marked 50 years since Captain Hobson arrived at Waitangi. It goes to the top of the mountain. (757m) On the tracks, information panels abound, with ecology and conservation messages.
If you are not feeling energetic, there is a road to the top of Mt Ngongotaha called Mountain Road. Or a one hour horse trek.
