The Silverpeaks

The Silverpeaks (sometimes spelt Silver Peaks) is an area of rough forest and tussock and scrub covered hill country inland and to the northwest of Dunedin, New Zealand.

The area is largely uninhabited; the main indication of human activity is the Taieri Gorge Railway, which preserves the route of the former Otago Central Railway that runs along the steep-sided valley of the Taieri River.

From Pulpit Rock, trampers descend the Devil's Staircase into a lush valley just a short distance from Jubilee Hut.

[6] The Department of Conservation considers the hiking in the area to be challenging and the country rugged.

Three Logan Park High School students died in the Silver Peaks in 1983.
