Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
We attempted to do the circuit this past Jan, but had to settle for the Crossing. The views were indeed worth waiting out the weather for 3 days, particularly up on Mt. Ngauruhoe. However, I don’t remember a more busy hiking trail. It’s the only place where we were literally in a traffic jam on the trail coming off the mountain. Completely agree with you that the circuit is the best way to enjoy it.
