Tongariro Alpine Crossing 2018

Here are highlights from the 19-kilometer, 7-hour walk along the Tongariro Alpine Crossing on November 22, 2018. I made careful preparations and gave myself a few days to wait for decent weather. Do not underestimate the trail, terrain, or environment. There were two deaths on the trail in October/November 2018 - including one the day after I hiked it.
