Aussie Bushwalking

It's like Wikipedia... but for Bushwalkers!

Aussie Bushwalking is a user-supplied list of bushwalking and hiking tracks in Australia - made by bushwalkers, for bushwalkers. It helps bushwalkers find new walks, share walks and track conditions and remember their Australian bushwalking/hiking activities.

Staying in Whakapapa Village for an Alpine Experience for a few days gave me an opportunity to cover five local walks in the same day. This was the fourth, which was an alpine cross country walk to the Rapids. I took the option to drive up Bruce Road towards the Sky Waka Gondola and walk the upper track, but now not sure that this was the best option to visit the Rapids.
The day we left the area, a bush fire swept through which cut all entrance and exits points for about a week. We were lucky to get out and head up to Lake Taupo.

Lovely, multi peak hike up and down. Spectacular views of various glass house mountains. Would suggest it is only an easy hike with a couple of short leg burning moments.
