Pukematekeo, Summit in Waitakere Ranges, New Zealand
Located at an elevation of 336 meters, Pukematekeo marks the northernmost point of the Waitakere Ranges Regional Park, providing views across the Auckland region.
The Auckland City Council acquired this land in 1926 from settlers under the Public Works Act to establish a scenic kauri forest reserve within Waitakere Ranges.
The name Pukematekeo carries deep meaning in Maori culture as it marks the final hill of the Waitakere Ranges within Te Kawerau ā Maki territory.
The summit connects to multiple trail systems and requires a 4.68-kilometer hike from Scenic Drive with an elevation gain of 272 meters.
Pukematekeo functions as a water source for two river systems: the Kumeu River flowing north and the Cassel Stream flowing east toward Henderson Creek.
