Pinnacles Track, Wairarapa

Pinnacles Track, Putangirua Pinnacles Scenic Reserve, Aorangi Forest Park

Definitely worth a visit, this fascinating geological phenomenon, similar to the Clay Cliffs at Omarama, was used in the Lord of the Rings movie (Dimholt Road: Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli ride to meet the Army of the Dead). It's an easy 45 minute walk up the stream bed from the DOC campsite.
