Description
RATTLE SNAKE also starts from the summit junction but on opposite side of the hill to Hi Octane. It joins the Summit Loop downwards trail but then leaves it for a steep descent over logs and small drops until it meets Tank trail in the valley of Nikau palms. Surface is a challenge but fairly dry most times.
