Not too hard a climb, with great all-round views at the top on a good day. Watch out for the gorse up top tho, it's a bit prickly if you get a little off-track. Someone has cleverly provided optional side-tracks if you don't like the stairs (but there are not too many at least). Good options on continuing a walk along the Skyline track heading north to Mt Kaukau or south to Karori or Makara.

A gourgeous view from the top of the hill! The circle route was easy enough to walk with a toddler. The way down was a bit scary as after the dawn the forest seemed really wild (thanks, God, we're not in Australia!).

Johnston's Hill is a good viewpoint over Karori to the harbour. It's a not-too-difficult walk up from Hauraki Street, and an easy diversion if you're walking or riding along Skyline

Decided just to walk around the reserve using the Northern Walkway Trailhead. The scenery was very nice however I think the Wellington Botanic Gardens may have bee a better choice

Beautiful forest walk up to the top of the hills with great 360 degree views of Wellington. A special place indeed

A well maintained track, boasting decent views of Karori and beyond. Easy access to skyline track.
