One of the older tracks that make Te Miro famous Track is fully in Native bush the whole way. It begins just above the start of Gobblers knob and winds it way up where the Gloworm tracks veers off. It climbs steadily across the side of a hill to its highest point where it then picks up the end of Gloworm. From there it descends downhill with plenty of roots and drops. After 1.1km there is an option to exit the bush onto Slippery track or continue downhill for another 340m to the end where Miro track starts. Track is similar to Gloworm for technical riding, but with slightly steeper gradients. Track not recommended during wet weather.

 Quite a few large muddy ruts. Still fun to ride, but not as dry as other tracks.
