 You can walk this loop clockwise but DOC brochure recommended counterclockwise due to steep scree slope north of the Mt Grey summit which would be difficult to ascend.

Mostly native beech forest but there is one section of pine and gorse on the ascent up the Mt Grey Track.

Ford crossing between trailheads near picnic area plus one river crossing on Red Beech Track which I made across on rocks and logs but depending on flow, you might have to get your feet wet.

Was quite a bit of windblown debris and trees lying across the track when I did this on 26 August 2012.

There are two geocaches along this trail.
