From Broken Hut Road carpark, follow the DOC markers to reach a well formed 4WD track. It is a steep climb up this track to reach the top of the Ewe Range where there are striking views towards Lake Ōhau and the Ahuriri valley. The majority of the track is a public access easement through private farmland.
From the saddle this track provides access for experienced trampers and, in winter, backcountry skiers to explore the Hawkdun Range.
