Very close to Te Ara Tirohanga, you can turn off SH 2 to the Remutaka Lookout. A very short and steep scrabble up the little track from the car park. You are high above the road, with views back to the Hutt Valley on one side and down towards Featherston on the other. There is also an information board at the car park detailing the construction of what was originally called the Rimutaka Road. Its name was more recently changed to Remutaka to reflect the correct Maori spelling.
If the weather is too damp or windy for the hike at Te Ara Tirohanga, a stop at the Lookout will provide great views with a lot less hassle!
