DESCRIPTION:This relatively new loop connects Beeby’s Knob with Red Hills Hut, creating
a circuit. The track was developed by the MTB Trails Trust and now doubles
as Te Araroa Trail.\nDescription:\nFrom Six Mile car park, follow the trac
k a short distance to the junction with the track that heads left to join W
ots up Doc. This track climbs for 3.9 km to connect with Wots up Doc, about
1 km above From Tophouse Rd. Wots Up Doc sweeps back and forth across the
4WD road, the latter taking a more direct route upwards. Near the top of th
e range the track heads through a section of beech forest with mossy underg
rowth. At the tree line you will reach the turnoff to Maitland Ridge Track;
continuing straight is the way to Beeby’s Knob (1442 m) and Beeby’s Hut.\n
Maitland Ridge Track descends nearly non-stop through stunted mountain beec
h to a saddle at 1020 m elevation, then climbs gradually through a series o
f zig-zags toward point 1202 m, passing clearings that allow impressive vie
ws across Wairau Valley to Raglan Range. After point 1202 m the track goes
through a slightly-technical descent, before crossing another saddle and cl
imbing again to the top of the final descent down a rough 4WD track down to
Red Hills Hut.\nFrom Red Hills Hut, descend down Red Hills Track (a 4WD ro
ad). After 5 km the 4WD road becomes a shared track, which heads through be
ech forest for 2 km back to Six Mile car park.\nMap: https://nelsontrails.c
