Tramping track
Kauri Grove Track leaves Piha Road and traverses remnant kauri forest, continues around the headwaters of Glen Esk Stream and descends easily to Ussher Cross. The track then heads to the top of Kitekite Falls, beside the site of the old driving dam. It then crosses the stream to Connect Track.
