Waitonga Falls Track, Horopito, Ruapehu

Waitonga Falls Track

Ruapehu Walks

The highlight of this two hour(return) walk is not necessarily the falls at the end but a ridge top mountain bog with pools which on a calm day reflect Mount Ruapehu. The walk which is mainly though a mountain beech and kaikawaka (mountain cedar) forest on a well formed track, starts on the Mountain Road about 11km from its beginning. A boardwalk crosses the bog. The falls are best when there is plenty of water.
