For the last month or so, Kristie and I have changed up our walking routine. For quite a while, in addition to our morning runs and/or lunchtime walks, after work we would take the dogs for a walk in the Ngaio gorge. But as mentioned earlier, we have changed our routine from the gorge to Mt. Kaukau.
The moniker of "Mount" is a bit of a misnomer as it is really just a foot hill, with an elevation of approximately 419 metres. Still, depending on the route you take, the climb can be quite taxing. The main route has 525 stairs interspersed on the trail and takes about an half hour at a good pace. The new route that we just tried yesterday and today has very few stairs as it is more of a natural path, but is quite steep at various points.
Either one will give you a good workout and a great view of Wellington and the surrounding area.
