Upper Hutt

From chasing elves around Kaitoke (an ancient rainforest that was transformed into the elven realm of Rivendell for Lord of The Rings), to catching views of the Hutt Valley on top of the ever popular Cannon Point walkway. Prefer two wheels? You can't beat cycling through the historic railway tunnel along the Remutaka Cycle Trail.
