Trail passes through native bush and is generally not too difficult, although gets overgrown very quickly, trends downhill for the first part then ends on an uphill.

ends at Trapper Track, turn left/west to exit onto Marua Rd via the clay skid/clearcut.

Trapper Track is better ridden from east to west ie downhill
