Walk 66, 9th May 2021
This forest stretches from Rotorua City to the Blue and Green Lakes and there are heaps of tracks to choose from. We did the half-hour Redwood Memorial Grove track.
The North American redwood trees were planted in 1901 as part of an experimental forest to see which imported trees grew the best in New Zealand.
The Redwoods Tree Walk is also here, where you can walk on 28 swing bridges suspended above the understory layer. It costs $35 each and the night walk is included in the price. I recommend it.
