Located in Kahurangi National Park and Mount Arthur area in the Nelson/Tasman region

Walk through beech forest and alpine scrub to see views over Arthur Range and Tasman Bay.

The access road into the Mount Arthur area (Graham Valley Road) is steep and narrow and prone to corrugations and slips – check any alerts for road status. During the winter months a 4WD vehicle is recommended to access Flora carpark. Chains may be needed if snow and ice are present

This track allows for a circuit walk from Flora car park. It climbs through beech forest and alpine scrub, and provides views over Arthur Range and Tasman Bay. It has sections of walking and tramping tracks. 

Flora car park is 75 km from Nelson and 36 km from Motueka.

The Motueka Valley Highway links Nelson and Motueka. Turn off this road at Ngātīmoti and cross the Motueka River. Turn left onto Motueka River West Bank Road, then right into Graham Valley Road, which climbs steeply to the car park. The last 5.8 km is unsealed and turning a vehicle on the road can be difficult. 4WD is recommended at all times of the year.
