Plan and prepare Many of Pirongia’s
tracks can be muddy,more so after rain.
Weather conditions can change rapidly, especially at higher
altitudes.
Always carry a change of clothing, wet weather gear and sufficient
food to cater for any emergency.
What to expect on a walking track:
- Easy to moderate walking from a few minutes
to a day
- Track is mostly well formed, some sections
may be steep, rough or muddy
- Suitable for people with low to moderate
fitness and abilities
- Clearly sign posted.
- Stream and river crossings are
bridged.
- Walking shoes or light tramping/hiking
boots required
