This trail starts across the road from the bottom of Varley's and ends as it joins into K2, which leads to Karori Park. The trail is quite open for the most part, some roots that can be a bit tricky climbing when wet. There are multiple "additional" lines to cut out some corners or make it a bit steeper/fun. The trail is mostly covered in pine needles and can get quite greasy in winter but most of the time it has great traction.

A really fun downhill trail actually. Great for riding/pushing your bike up for access to K Hole.

Good trail to finish a descent from the top of Makara via Zac's (hopefully Wha Out in the future) and Varley's. Some natural features (root sections) and a few switchbacks. Nice!!!

At the bottom of Wahine, please exit park via K2 trail rather than the sports field. This avoids walker complaints/conflicts.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
