Footbridge, Tongariro Alpine Crossing. New Zealand. - Hiking Path Footbridges on Waymarking.com

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing track passes over varied and spectacular volcanic terrain. In the presence of active volcanoes you can experience some of Tongariro National Park’s special gifts. A cold mountain spring, lava flows, an active crater, steam vents, emerald-coloured lakes and magnificent views combine to make this an enjoyable and memorable trip. The track varies from metal track, to earth with tree roots, steps, tussock land, loose volcanic rock and scoria, only suitable for sturdy tramping boots. This walk starts at the Mangatepopo Valley trail head and will take at least 6 - 8 hours, one way, and pick-up transport is required at the Ketetahi end.

This waymarked footbridge crosses the stream that flows down Mt Tongariro from the Ketetahi Hot Springs on the upper mountainside. The water is thermal and not suitable for drinking. After crossing this bridge it is an easy walk through native bush to the trail end.
