The Lamar Track distracted us on our short drive from the Mt Vernon car park to Upoko-o-Kuri / Witch Hill. This short track is not on Topo Map NZ but is well signposted on the road with a parking area directly north of the Mt Vernon peak.
It was specifically designed to provide easy access to visitors of all abilities, including wheelchair users. The path leads to a fabulous view overlooking Christchurch's east side, the Heathcote Estuary and Avon Rivers / Ihutai.
It also links with the Farm Track, one of several shared walking and cycling tracks connecting the Port Hills (crater rim) with Christchurch.
