Great view of the Bay and the highest vantage point near town. Challenge yourself to walk the loop, but you can drive up here, which is somewhat special these days as more as more summits have been closed to vehicle traffic over the decades. One way traffic only, and a dedicated path for walkers and cyclists. There are a number of waking tracks that come off the main road as well. On a good day, a brilliant place for a picnic, and good days are easy to come by around here.
Super view from top mountain. The whole city view looks stunning from Titirangi Reserve
We were in Gisborne for the night and got up early and went for a walk up to see the sunrise was beautiful good start to your day that's for sure

Great walk, not too long but not too short either. Stairs were a killer but a great challenge if you're not as unfit as me probably! There are alternative routes that gradually slope up if you prefer an easier path. Great views at the top!
