Itinerary description
A one-way hike through Tongariro National Park. The track winds through alpine landscape, volcanoes, bush and by blue lakes. Drop of and pickup by coach is essential. Although the walk does not live up to all the hype, it could still be a really nice walk. Unfortunately its not. Its popularity is it's downfall. Forget wilderness and solitude; New Zealand's M25, I95 or State Highway one spring to mind.
