RANGIWAHIA SCENIC RESERVE visitor comments
A visitor book is available in a green mailbox at the end of the car park and before the trail begins. Our local MP, Ian McKelvie, suggested a visitor’s book after he himself walked through the reserve. We are so pleased we followed through with his suggestion as we now have a record of people's experiences from all around NZ and the world.
