Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

A good, steep cut marked track climbs from the signposted track junction in Mangaatua Stream to the ridgeline to the south. It heads briefly east along the ridgeline to a signposted junction, before dropping south into Coppermine Stream.

Both Coppermine and Mangaatua streams must be crossed, but are boot deep in normal flows.
