Rising above Lower Hutt, Mount McKerrow offers a bush walking track that takes hikers through native forest up into the hills. The trail provides an invigorating trek for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a proper climb and a quiet stretch of New Zealand ridge track away from busier suburban paths.
Located out towards Avalon in Lower Hutt, it stands out among the area’s outdoor routes as a rewarding spot for hikers wanting elevation and unpaved native bush. A solid ridge climb here rewards the sustained effort with the kind of shelter and raw natural terrain that only the region's steep hill country provides.
