Mt Robert Walk
Pinchgut Track - detour a short walk on Robert Ridge Route - Paddy’s Track
starting from Mt Robert Car Park
thrugh a patch of forest
zigzaging up the steep, bare face of Mt Robert on a well graded track
spectacular views over Lake Rotoiti
The slopes of Mt Robert that were once with beech forest, become bare face from the loss of trees by fire in 1887. Regenerated 1987
beech forest on the upper of the Pinchgut Track escaped the ravages of fire
it's good to walk a little bit long in the forest
