In the North West corner of the South Island of New Zealand a ghost has awakened. A long-forgotten gold miners’ road has been revived as a mountain biking and tramping trail – connecting the old dray road in the Lyell (Upper Buller Gorge) to the mighty Mokihinui River in the north. The 85km-long Old Ghost Road traverses majestic native forest, open tussock tops, river flats and forgotten valleys.
This trail was revived by the hands of locals to allow tourists from all over to appreciate the native life within this area. Many bikers, trampers and runners alike all convene at Westport to commence the journey through this forgotten world.
