Walk through beech forest to Mt Arthur Hut - a great day walk for families with kids.
Elevation
Cover mapped summer 2023/24.
Description
From Flora car park follow the track to Flora Saddle where a well-graded track follows the ridge towards Mt Arthur, winding through beech forest and groves of candelabra-like mountain neinei (Dracophyllum sp.). Mt Arthur Hut is just on the tree line – walk a bit further above the hut for views to Mt Arthur and the Tablelands.
Care is required around the many bluffs, sinkholes and caves; warm and waterproof clothing should be carried.
Getting there
Flora car park is 75 km from Nelson and 36 km from Motueka.
The Motueka Valley Highway links Nelson and Motueka. Turn off this road at Ngātīmoti and cross the Motueka River. Turn left onto Motueka River West Bank Road, then right into Graham Valley Road, which climbs steeply to the car park. The last 5.8 km is unsealed and turning a vehicle on the road can be difficult. 4WD is recommended at all times of the year.
