Whariti Peak Mountain Bike Trail

Wharite Peak is a mountain at the southern end of the Ruahine Range, 9 km north of Woodville in the Manawatu-Wanganui region of New Zealand. The mountain is home to the main television transmitter for the city of Palmerston North and the wider Manawatu region. The top of Whariti Peak is one of the highest vehicle accessible peaks in the North Island, there you can see from Kapiti Island all way to Mt Taranaki and if you turn around you can see all way from Hawkes Bay to Wairarapa. Remember that Whariti Road is a public road, so care needs to be taken and always stay to the left.
