The Old Ghost Road traverses mountains, deep river gorges, dense forest and rough backcountry. It is remote, exposed, with alpine sections above the treeline. On a clear day, there are incredible views in every direction. The steep, jagged rocks and golden tussocky peaks are spectacular. #southisland #newzealand #oldghostroad #mountainbike #bikepacking #biketrail #forest #bush](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353319/6ec7d6e2-3c10-4dea-a2d7-fc61ab163edc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Inangahua - Cities near Lower Buller Gorge - Places of interest [Paparoa National Park](https://expedia.com/Paparoa-National-Park.dx6110663)[Charleston](https://expedia.com/Charleston.dx6295864)[Denniston](https://expedia.com/Denniston.dx6353306)[Inangahua](https://expedia.com/Inangahua.dx6353319)[Cronadun](https://expedia.com/Cronadun.dx692487384872620032)[Maimai](https://expedia.com/Maimai.dx692487404677169152)[Virgin Flat](https://expedia.com/Virgin-Flat.dx692487418768982016) - [Carters Beach ](https://expedia.com/Carters-Beach-West-Coast.d553248635922700876.Vacation-Attraction) - [Pancake Rocks ](https://expedia.com/Pancake-Rocks-West-Coast.d6110668.Vacation-Attraction) - [Kahurangi National Park ](https://expedia.com/Kahurangi-National-Park-New-Zealand.d6112839.Vacation-Attraction) - [Tauranga Bay Seal Colony ](https://expedia.com/Tauranga-Bay-Seal-Colony-Cape-Foulwind.d6110654.Vacation-Attraction) - [Punakaiki Beach ](https://expedia.com/Punakaiki-Beach-West-Coast.d553248621560493144.Vacation-Attraction) - [Paparoa National Park ](https://expedia.com/Paparoa-National-Park-Paparoa-National-Park.d553248635976809360.Vacation-Attraction) - [Mitchells Gully Gold Mine ](https://expedia.com/Mitchells-Gully-Gold-Mine-Charleston.d6110666.Vacation-Attraction) - [Pororari River Track ](https://expedia.com/Pororari-River-Track-Paparoa-National-Park.d553248635936291931.Vacation-Attraction) - [Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes ](https://expedia.com/Punakaiki-Pancake-Rocks-And-Blowholes-West-Coast.d553248635976809804.Vacation-Attraction) - [NBS Theatre ](https://expedia.com/NBS-Theatre-Westport.d553248621532610376.Vacation-Attraction) - [Underworld Adventures ](https://expedia.com/Underworld-Adventures-Charleston.d553248621587293710.Vacation-Attraction) - [Charming Creek Walkway ](https://expedia.com/Charming-Creek-Walkway-Ngakawau.d6263955.Vacation-Attraction) - [Mitchell’s Gully Gold Mine ](https://expedia.com/Mitchells-Gully-Gold-Mine-Paparoa-National-Park.d553248621526967050.Vacation-Attraction) - [Miner's Brewery ](https://expedia.com/Miners-Brewery-Westport.d6110650.Vacation-Attraction) - [Solid Energy Centre ](https://expedia.com/Solid-Energy-Centre-Westport.d553248621526970763.Vacation-Attraction) - [Truman Track ](https://expedia.com/Truman-Track-Te-Miko.d553248635936292114.Vacation-Attraction)
