Above the loop
The Panoramic Port Hills - a longer trekking option, 2 to 4 hours. Here the ride follows a winding track that carries on from the loop on the gentle slopes of the Port Hills to open grasslands where lunch can be enjoyed with spectacular views of the Canterbury Plains, Southern Alps and the extensive wetland area of Lake Ellesmere. The ride overlooks the Omahu Reserve and passes through a December flowering foxglove grove. This ride can be extended to join up with Gherkins Road and return via the loop road making an impressive all day ride.
Wow look at that view!
Hmm, Lake Ellesmere,very lovely
