The Escarpment Track is a 10-kilometre-long (6.2 mi) hiking track between Pukerua Bay and Paekākāriki in the Wellington region of New Zealand. It forms part of the 3,000-kilometre (1,900 mi) Te Araroa trail from Cape Reinga to Bluff. The track climbs to approximately 215 metres (705 ft) above sea level, along a narrow route formed along a steep coastal escarpment. It overlooks a section of State Highway 59 known as Centennial Highway, and the North–South Junction section of the Kapiti Line and the North Island Main Trunk railway line.[1]
