Tongariro Alpine Crossing

This 19.4km trail is a fantastic place to get out into the wild and explore some of New Zealand's natural beauty. Volcanoes, mountains, ridges, lakes and some incredible rock formations. With warnings of potential eruptions from active volcanoes it's not an adventure for the faint-hearted!

​

I couldn't get over how beautiful this place was. In parts, it genuinely looked like Mars  - or at least what I imagine Mars to look like. Here are the highlights.
