Mt Cargill

Some of the most spectacular views of Dunedin and the surrounding area are those from the top of Mt Cargill, named after the co-founder of the Otago settlement, Captain William Cargill. At 676m, Mt Cargill dominates the northern end of Dunedin.

There are two tracks to the summit - from Bethunes Gully and from Mt Cargill Road. The tracks are in excellent condition and are suitable for people of almost any fitness level. Allow three to four hours.

There's also an extra walk of about 30 minutes that takes in Organ Pipes rock formation.
