The trail

Leith Saddle is a saddle between the sources of the Water of Leith and the Waitati River, approximately halfway between Dunedin's northern suburb of Pine Hill and the outlying settlement of Waitati. At 380m the saddle is the highest point of Dunedin-Waitati Highway, and therefore of State Highway 1 in the South Island.
