Hiking at Queen Charlotte

The top of the North Island of New Zealand is a maze of sounds and inlets. We spent the day hiking the famous Queen Charlotte Track, which goes along a ridge line between Queen Charlotte Sound and Kenepuru Sound.


The weather was perfect for this time of year, sunny with a high of around 60 degrees. We saw a few mountain bikers and a few other hikers, but other than that, we had the trail to ourselves.


It felt great to stretch our legs after so much time in a rental car. The place looks like a mountain range that got flooded. It's full of coves and inlets and the few houses we saw had docks and boats, which seem to be the best way to get around.

Lunch on the Queen Charlotte Track.
