Very steep and rather eroded. Beautiful forest in the ravine most of the way up.

Start at Newlands forestary Station, and take the path up to the base of Newlands Ravine.

Go right along the contour path until you reach the first river up (only about 50m away) This is dark gorge. Follow the cairns up.

The only thing you have to worry about is not going up Dark Gully. When you reach the fork of the valleys, stick left.
