This is an easy shortcut between the new carpark (off Inwards Goods) and the old Craters carpark beside Karapiti Rd.

The trail has two separate single way portions at the eastern end. The outward link starts further up Inward Goods just after the pinch climb; turn left to head to Tourist Trap and right to head to Express Delivery and the old carpark.

Access Info

Turn right off Inwards Goods at the signpost.
