Itinerary description
An epic trail on some great single track can't recommend it enough.
Starting from Cathedral Peak Hotel head out on the Cathedral Peak Path, across the river, Take the left after 5km on to the contour path at about 2100m ASL. At the 12km mark head down the spur of One Tree Hill, the last part of the decent is steep and zig gags down the spur. Two river crossings and you are back to the hotel.
The path is clear except for the one section though the one gorge but trail is visible on the other side, just head straight for that. There are lots of streams in the first half of the trail - but it dry's up in the second half.
Enjoy.
