“Not all those who wander are lost.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
Surely you can’t describe New Zealand hikes without quoting Lord of the Rings ❤
While I prefer to be in the middle of nowhere with just me, my Whitakers chocolate block and the serene sound of pīwakawaka, waterfalls and breathlessness (because I trotted up a hill obviously) the Great Walks are great for a reason. And who doesn’t enjoy speed trotting on a highway style trail with all those amenities!
So here are all the Great Walks I think are worth trotting.
Oh and in New Zealand we refer to hiking as tramping… just another T word for you to learn 😛
