THERE AND BACK Two sides to Mt Ruapehu By Lynne Dickinson Images by Lynne and Vicki Knell When my friend called to see if I wanted to head out on an overnight hike on Mt Ruapehu, my first reaction was, “absolutely”, followed closely by “what if the skiing is good that day?” The issue with hiking in an alpine environment, is that you really want a clear weather day, which is also what you need for a great day skiing. So as everyone enjoyed the last of the spring skiing, we managed to head off for a couple of overnight hikes in the surrounding trails and would thoroughly recommend them both. Both overnight huts were on the Round the Mountain Track, which is as it sounds, a track that circumnavigates Mt Ruapehu. You can walk the track in either direction and to do the whole track, (66.2km loop) which takes between 4 – 6 days, with 6 huts to choose from and various campsites available or you can choose to do part of the track with access points from Whakapapa Village, and off the road to Tukino and Turoa. You can also access the Round the Mountain Track from a few feeder trails off the State highway 1, Highway 47 and from Horopito. 26//WHERE ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS/#229
