Description
This walk starts in Whakapapa village in Tongariro National Park at the end of Ngauruhoe Terrace. This is a loop walk, and for no particular reason we decided to start along the lower track and return by the upper track. It seemed that most people we came across were going the other way, however, so there may have been some local knowledge at play.
The track is wide, easy to follow and very well maintained. It passes through alpine scrub...
...before reaching Wairere Stream, which is more forested terrain.
In time we reached the Taranaki Falls.
The trail then took us to the top of the falls before returning to Whakapapa. There were some alpine views along the way, but these were limited by low cloud.
