Te Toiokawharu, Mountain summit in Waitākere Ranges, New Zealand.
Te Toiokawharu reaches 474 meters in elevation and stands as the highest peak within the Waitākere Ranges of Auckland's North Island.
The peak received its official name in 1941 when Wiremu Paora and Rangitutahi of Ngāti Whātua were consulted by the New Zealand Geographical Board.
The name Te Toiokawharu references the Waikato Tainui warrior Kāwharu, who led attacks on Waitākere Ranges settlements during the late 17th century.
The Twin Peaks Track provides access to the summit through an 11.3-kilometer route that begins at Huia Dam Road and takes 5 to 6 hours.
The northern slopes of Te Toiokawharu form the source of Georges Stream, which flows into Lower Huia Dam, while Karamatura Stream originates from its southern side.
