Today we made the most of the beautiful spring weather and headed west to the Waitakeres for a couple of walks. The first was the Mercer Bay loop walk, a coastal walk which gave great views looking north down over Piha and to Muriwai in the distance.
Whilst the views to the south were to Whatipu, the most southerly point of the Waitakeres.
As we climbed back up the track we could see Mercer Bay which is not accessible by road or foot unless you fancy a scramble down a very steep bank.
The walk took us through lots of natural bush including many tree ferns and flax. A great loop walk with stunning views.
The next walk of the day was completely different scenery as we headed through bush to walk alongside the Upper Nihotupu Reservoir past several waterfalls on the way.
We eventually reached the dam and views over the Waikatere Ranges - lots of ferns!
We then headed back the way we came stopping off at another waterfall. A great day of walking out west.
