The track leaves Rocks Hut. It crosses Rocks Creek and skirts around the side of The Rocks (939m), continuing on past various rocky outcrops and high points. At the track begins to descend to Tōtara Saddle, it passes through an open area of tussock, then re-enters the bush.

The descent becomes steeper as you approach Tōtara Saddle (690 m). From Tōtara Saddle, descend steeply for 30 min to Browning Hut beside Browning Stream.
