TeAraroa 2019/2020

Te Araroa is a 3,000 km trail that stretches across the entire length of New Zealand, taking in spectacular scenery from beaches to volcanoes to forests to cities. They say it's the greatest adventure there is, and the trail should be on everyone's bucket list, so no way it wouldn’t be on mine. I loved hiking the TA. It was a treat, and I completed it in 3.5 months.

Let me tell you one thing though – if you do decide to hike this trail, expect to be hiking through a lot of mud. Slippery mud, heavy mud, wet mud, deep mud, fresh mud, all kinds of mud. Is it worth going through all that, you might wonder, and the answer is yes. The TA is beautiful. Go hike it!
