Introduction

Mount Cargill, about 680 m, is the volcanic peak north of Dunedin named for city founder William Cargill. The summit surveys the whole city, Otago Harbour and the Pacific coast, marked by radio towers; the trail takes about 2 hours from the lower slopes, or drive to the mid-hill lot and hike from there — clear days reach far.
