Palmerston Puketapu Summit Walkway

Anyone passing through the small town of Palmerston will notice a ancient volcanic cone with a grey stone tower overlooking the main street. If you have time and fitness you can climb up the summit thanks to walkway access NZ and visit the monument to agricultural visionary Sir John McKenzie.

The track is on private land so be respectful and thankful while visiting.
