Uphill walk is a walking track on Dyers Pass Road in Cashmere, Christchurch. It has a Google rating of 4.6 from 36 reviews.

Walkers report taking about an hour and a half to two hours to reach the top, and the track is shared with mountain bikers.
A good walking track is one you can judge before you set out, so check the weather and allow more time than you think you need. Stable footwear matters on a hill track, especially after rain, when the surface can get slippery. On a shared track, step aside for bikers and keep to the side when they come down. Many walkers go early in the morning, when it is cooler and quieter.
For a climb with a chairlift ride back down, this track on Dyers Pass Road is a good fit for a morning out in Christchurch.
