4WD track in the Manawatu-Whanganui region
Ridge Road is a 32km gravel run along the Manawatu-Whanganui hill tops, with sweeping valley views and an easygoing touring character.
Up along the tops of the hill country, this one follows the high ground for 32km with the valleys dropping away on either side. Plenty of sweeping views out over the surrounding farmland, so it's a relaxed and scenic way to break up a touring trip.
Watch the narrow corners and take it easy. The road hugs the ridgeline and you can't always see far around the bends, so there's not much room if something's coming the other way.
