Rangitata River Valley
Mount Sunday Track

Located in Hakatere Conservation Park in the Canterbury region

Walk to the top of Mount Sunday for expansive views of the surrounding countryside.

Mount Sunday is a stunning site with expansive views of the Rangitata River and the surrounding mountains.

The small hill got its name because boundary riders from the high-country stations would meet here on Sundays. More recently it was the film site for Edoras in the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

The track starts on Hakatere Potts Road, about 48 km west of Mount Somers. Leave Mount Somers on Ashburton Gorge Road, which becomes Hakatere Potts Road.
