Nice, with a beautiful 360 view of the top of the tower!

Great hike mostly through lovely forest with the last day 30% of the hike out of the trees when walking to the summit, it would have lovely views on a clearer day, unfortunately it was raining when we went. It was 2hours round trip, and we followed signs for Lake Howden Hut and then about 80% of the way up the track splits and there is a sign to Key Summit which we followed. Once you reach key summit there is an optional further track along the top of the mountain but we didn’t follow.

Great walk, decent bit of elevation to climb but the gradient is fairly gentle the whole way. We went to key summit and back to the car park in around 2 hours. Be warned if it is rainy and cloudy you might not get much of a view from the top, there are some cool little waterfalls though.

It is one of my favorite short tracks in New Zealand! So beautiful and rewarding. Not too steep and almost all the time in the shadow.

Steady climb (mostly under tree cover) with a nice rewarding summit and view over the mountains and Lake Marian. Once you reach the Lake Marian viewpoint you can keep going on your left-hand side; we wandered through the forest (it got a little muddy in parts but nothing too bad) and then over a mountainy area for about 20 mins total for a bit better view of Lake Marian.

Very nice ride! With a fantastic view! We took 2 hours round trip!
