WALK SHORTS
TARANAKI CROSSING FOR 2022
MOVE OVER TONGARIRO – there’s a new volcanic crossing in town.
The $19.3 million Taranaki Crossing Project has been given the green light and is set to open in December 2022.
Development work will start immediately and groundwork is scheduled to begin in February 2020.
“We agreed that we wouldn’t start any groundwork before summer this year, so there will be less impact on people’s experiences up there,” DOC regional visitor planning manager Tinaka Mearns said.
The crossing will upgrade and expand an existing 30km of tracks to create a walk from Dawson Falls on the southeastern side of the park to Mangorei Road at the base of the Pouak ā i Ranges on the northern side.
