Allans Track

                          


Track Description
Follow Acland Falls Track from Te Wanahu Flat and turn left onto Allans Track after about 500 metres. Allans Track then joins Deer Spur before dropping steeply to Fern Walk, which can be followed back to the starting point. This track passes through a range of botanical communities from the tall podocarp forest near the valley floor to the subalpine and alpine vegetation on the higher slopes. The track is named after H H B Allan (1882–1957), a pioneer botanist. He was best known for his Volume One of the Flora of New Zealand, a book published in 1940 about the vegetation of Peel Forest.
Getting There
To get here follow Geraldine-Arundel Road and turn left on to Peel Forest Road. Follow along the road and turn right on to Rangitata Gorge Road. Follow this until you reach the Peel Forest carpark on the left.
