Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey
A faintly travelled, poled route drops west from Colenso, past the tarn and over a small rise, before swinging SW down the spur towards Kawhatau. Once into the scrub/bush the track is easily followed, but moderately steep. The track is cut and well marked. The track hits the end of the private road at Kawhatau Base hut.
