Editing Heaphy Track (section)

=== Heaphy Hut to Kōhaihai River mouth ===
This final section of the track is all close to the coastline, with the route partly in forest and partly on the beach or beach margins. There are several stream crossings along the route. The Katipo Creek shelter is located at the mid-point of this section of the track. The landscape of the coastline with its pounding surf and the coastal forest with groves of nīkau palms is described by some as the highlight of the track.<ref name="Petyt" />{{rp||page=191}} Towards the end of this section of the track there is a climb from [[Scotts Beach]] to around {{cvt|160|m}} over a saddle set back from Kōhaihai Bluff. The track then descends to a crossing of the Kōhaihai River and the end of the track at the car park.<ref name="Barnett" />{{rp||page=24}}
