The Hat - 42 km
PINK TRAIL
The Hat Loop is the longest trail on the property but by far the most rewarding. This awesome trail has everything that Blue Mountain has to offer; from native bush to open tussock country, the amazing upper Orari River and stunning views across the Canterbury Plains to the Port Hills. There are also three historical huts along the way, so plenty to explore!
