Tongariro Alpine Crossing | VAN LIFE NEW ZEALAND
Hello, hello and hello!
This week we embarked on a mission to tackle the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Located in the Tongariro National Park, which is one of New Zealand’s oldest national parks. After some ‘careful’ research, it was apparent that this was going to be quite the experience, and was considered to be one of the best one day hikes in the world.
This challenging trip begins at 1120 metres, with an ascent up the Mangatepopo Valley towards the saddle between Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe. Continuing through the South Crater, another steep climb leads you to the Red Crater, the highest point on the crossing at 1886 metres.
You will then descend on a volcanic rock track to the vivid Emerald Lakes, known as Nga Rotopounamu (greenstone-hued lakes). After passing Blue Lake, also known as Te Wai-whakaata-o-te-Rangihiroa (Rangihiroa’s mirror), the track sidles around the northern slope of Tongariro, then descends in a zigzag track down to the road end at 760 metres.
After a very chilled day of recovery, we both came to reflect that this was easily one of the best hikes we’ve ever been on. The diversity of the ecosystem is certainly something to behold. All in all, the hike took us 6.5 hours!
If you ever get the opportunity to go on this hike, take it!
Hope you enjoy the video,
