Paparoa Track and Pike29 Memorial Track

I think the intention is that you will be able to drive to the Interpretation Center down at river level in the Pike and start/finish part of the Paparoa track from there or day trip to the tops and back. From the Paparoa track - Pike track junction you could drop your pack, duck down to the Interpretation Center, have a look around and be be back up to your pack in about half a day if wanting to do both tracks as part of the one trip. A fair bit of the Pike track was finished when I was up there last. I was eye balling things from across the valley above the mine and had been on the top bit of the Pike track prior to that.
