A dirt road stretches through a grassy landscape, flanked by low shrubs and a fence. In the background, rolling hills and mountains rise under a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The scene conveys a tranquil and expansive natural setting. Baikie Hut mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Baikie Hut

This 18km out-and-back ride on generally smooth four wheel drive tracks goes up the expansive Twizel River flats to a little old four bunk back-country hut used by hikers and deer stalkers.

It makes for a nice day ride or a mellow overnight back-country adventure amongst the towering foothills of the Southern Alps. You don't get views over Lake Pukaki or the high peaks that are just behind the big up close hills.

Something you'll notice is how pine trees are starting to smother the New Zealand high-country.
