My third Great Walk in three weeks starts with an short and easy day to Routeburn Falls Hut.

Good weather continued to follow me on the last day of this hike. Walking with a slight limp, my swollen knee welcomed the flat elevation.

The day after doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing was a short one, ending at the spectacular, newly built Waihohonu Hut.

One the first day of this 3-day hike, I hiked through the popular Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a memorable walk with spectacular otherworldly views.

After injuring it on the last hike, knee gets swollen and in bad shape. I also miss the shuttle bus to the start of the Tongariro Northern Circuit.
