Bush Walk @ Cascade Falls


It's Summer Time! Enjoy the cool breeze out in Waitakere's as 
you walk into the bushes into the largest Kauri forest in Auckland Region

Cascade Kauri is located in the northern part of the Waitakere Ranges and offer  great places to explore, See beautiful great kauri trees

These photos are from the Montana Heritage Trail - an 8 km track that provides access to the largest remaining stand of great kauri in Auckland region.  



Remember to clean your shoes as you enter the walking tracks to protect giant kauri trees from dying

Cascade Falls: You won't be able to view or see the falls. This is the closet you can get to the falls 
The Track is 15 mins long. It is just before the second bridge on the Auckland City Trail, you will see the short side track directing you to Cascade falls

Do remember to bring your swim gears if you want to swim.
