Colenso Trig, the first peak north above Kawatau Base. An easy steady ridgeline ascends 700m to the peak for views of the Ruahines, Ruapehu and as far as Mt Taranaki. A small tarn nestles in the saddle between the two summits: a delightful day-walk with a refreshing dip in the tarn to cool off from the summer heat. 2.5km each way: 2.5-5 hours return.
