This is a loop track for walking and cycling. Please note the track up or down on the side nearest Cardrona is a hike-a-bike section as it is too steep and rough to ride (tough enough to walk/scramble). It is better to do as an up-and-back from the Wanaka side.

Tuohy's Gully track is a steep climb and at times may require some pushing. Once you reach the saddle you can head over to Meg Hut or continue along the ridgeline to the top of the Crown Range.Riding back down Tuohy's is a lot more fun The trail has some wash outs and some gravel sections but these can be negotiated by riders who are comfortable with Blue trails.
