Description
Most easily accessed by either taking Flax Gully track from the bottom of Jacks Pass Road or by riding all the way up Jacks Pass road to the water tank tanks and taking the track across almost to the bottom of Conical Hill. Yankee Zephyr has a little climb around a gully and then a series of fast downhill switchbacks. Links up with Swamp uphill and Swoop to take you back close to town.Trails are mostly hand built by the Hanmer MTB Club. With limited sources of income we would appreciate your donation or become a member https://www.hanmermtb.nz/ . Maps can be purchased from the Bike Shop in Hanmer or the Isite
