Where is this??

[TimeOut]

Milford road for sure

Agreed, I'm gunna check it out later this month.

Ohakune Mountain Road is my guess but it has been a while since i was up there.

I'd say Milford Road near the 45th parallel North of Te Anau. Makarora to Haast doesn't have such closed in glades like that from what I remember.

The trees in the photo are South Island Beech. The road is the Milford Road between Te Anau and Milford Sound.

Looks like most of us are saying Milford. Now I'm home from work here's the only pic I could find, its a scan of a photo when we went in there in the car 10 years ago - haven't been back since nor on the bike. Obviously at a slightly different spot than the first photo with a kink in the road.

Crikey look at my little angel there in her sunnies - she's 22 now and about to get married in Zurich in January.

Hitcher you probably have ridden the bike in there - any pics?

[Hitcher]

I've ridden through there twice in the past four years but have no photos that demonstrate a road lined with South Island Beech.

It can only be the Milford Road, as apart from Peel Forest, there is no Beech on any part of the South Island other than the West Coast, and on the Buller Gorge Road all of the trees are cut further back from the road edge (where there aren't any cliffs or bluffs).

That's the nice thing about the South Island... there's so many nice deserted biker roads that it could be damn near anywhere

little bit specific... but I was going to say road to Milford Sound...

[FJRider]

There are many species of Beech. Those pictured (are RED Beech) , found to the north of Makarora but before Haast Pass.(near the Blue Pools.) The Milford road has SILVER beech.

Certainly not Fitzgerald Glade it has proper trees in it. Down south as the picture shows all they have are Beech trees.

Reminds me of the road into one of the sth island lakes but I can't remember which one Rotoiti or Kaneri... I am going with Kaneri but my memory is fading (it was a few years ago now!)

[FlangMasterJ]

Look's a little like Paekakariki Hill road.

[scumdog]

hmmm... think I know where you mean ...

The road surface looks like the gritty South island stuff tho...

I honestly have know idea where it is. I'm just guessing.

I'm guessing near Maruia Springs OR the Milford Road ??
