High: 26 Low: 9The Tongariro Crossing is renowned as a one-day hike that does it all, from alpine meadow to mountain summit with stunning volcanic features along the way. It takes you across a lunar landscape of craters, scattered pumice, coloured lakes, piles of scoria and statue-like mounds of volcanic rock—all testament to the forces that were unleashed to create this volcanic desert.
To get to the beginning it's easiest to use the track transport, which leaves from the Whakapapa Information Centre—the small charge covers drop off and pick up.
