Hihikiwi Track, Mt Pirongia

Living in Auckland we don’t have a lot of beaches to visit but not a lot of overnight destinations close to home. Mt Pirongia is one of the closest mountain ranges nearby and provides stunning views from the Hut which is perched just a short walk from the summit. DOC have built the well equipped modern Hut on the peak several years making it one of the newest huts around.

I like to take a tent up here and camp as there are many campsites available and the hut can get busy during the weekends.
