The road onto the Central Plateau between Poatina and the Great Lake, climbing in a run of bends to open high country.

SeasonNovember to April

A long climb onto the Central Plateau, with bends through forest and then open, exposed country.

It is high and cold, and snow and ice can close it outside summer.

Fuel up before you go, as there is little on the plateau.
