Lake Waikaremoana great walk





A 4 day, 45-ish km hike partway around a lake in Te Urewera national park. The first day was a pretty brutal ridge line hike on a never-ending, nonrhythmic, "undulatingly beautiful" trail, although it did end up at a nice hut where we bunked for the night. The next few days took us closer to the lake, where we were able to see more of the water fowl as well as get annihilated by the sand fleas (their bites are 5 times worse than mosquito bites). With a water taxi ride to the trailhead and another from the end, it was a good experience for us both.
