Taranaki Falls Track
National Park, New Zealand
A loop walk of about two hours from Whakapapa across tussock and forest to a 20 metre waterfall that tumbles over an old lava flow. The track is well formed and suits most walkers. Bring a jacket, as the plateau is exposed and the weather turns quickly.
