Best Mountain Bike Trails in Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari

Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari is New Zealand's largest pest-proof fenced sanctuary, protecting 3,400 hectares of restored forest and native wildlife. It features an 11km gravel biking track traversing from Hicks Road to Pukeatua, offering a unique ecological experience through regenerating forest.
