One of the world's best long distance hikes. I love New Zealand (and Lord of the Rings). I'd love to explore the landscape slowly including the idyllic hills and volcanoes of the North Island to the epic mountains and glaciers of the South Island.
It would also be cool to mix in some other great tramps and LOTR filming locations (I already have a map!) https://caltopo.com/m/PDFAT
