You all know that famous saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, for this post I am going to let the pictures tell the story because no matter how much I can say about how amazing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing was, words just won’t do it justice. This hike is regarded as one of the best day hikes in New Zealand, and it certainly lived up to its reputation for us. Enjoy!
(Yes, that is a snowball coming at my face)
From the desert, around volcanos, over a summit, into a valley with beautiful lakes, to ending in the forest with babbling brooks, this hike definitely has it all. I just recommend a sturdy pair of boots and lots of sunblock!

Absolutely breathtaking pics! Did you do more of walking, or was it a lot of climbing?

Thanks! It was all walking. In the winter, it’s more of an ice climb, but even though there was fresh snow, the trail was still walkable
