Tongariro Crossing






Honestly, the photos pretty much speak for themselves. Tongariro Crossing is one of New Zealand Department of Conservation's 10 Great Walks and the only one doable in one day. In 14 miles, we passed through some seriously surreal scenery completely devoid of vegetation. We scrambled up a rock field, wandered across a flat crater, then continued upward, eventually emerging over the top of a peak and looking down on 3 stunning emerald lakes. Something else.
