Itinerary description
North Mount Egmont - Pouakai via Holly Hut.
This hike requires being dropped off at North Egmont visitor centre and picked up at the end.
The entire hike, including the side trip to the 31m Bell's Falls is 23km. My app paused at some point during the 1 hour side trip. I would only recommend doing this hike in fine settled weather to make the most of the views.
Just before reaching the Pouakai hut there is a short side trip to the Pouakai Tarns to get the famous photo of Mt Taranaki reflected in the lake. We did not do this side trip as it was windy so no reflections plus we have been there before.
