Mt Taranaki's Alpine Rainforest and Dawson Falls | NZ Travel Vlog 3 of 3

In our final vlog from this NZ road trip series, we went to the North Egmont Visitor Centre before we set off on our Mt Taranaki walk. The track we did was called the Veronica Loop. We initially weren't planning on doing the entire loop but ended up doing it when we completely missed the lookout point we were suppose to go to!

Apparently if you want to get to the popular lookout point on this route, at the signposted junction, you need to keep going up the Holly Hut Track for 10 minutes to reach it. We didn't realise and instead completed the full Veronica Loop Track instead. Don't make the same mistake we did unless you like the look of our 2 hour hike and don't mind a lot of uphill walking! Getting to the lookout point and returning the same way we came would have been only about a 40 min walk instead 😅

After our tiring walk, we made our way over to a nearby town called Inglewood. We were super glad to come across a small Japanese/Korean takeaway shop especially since most places were closed at the time! It was a total bonus that the food we had was delicious too.

After an unexpected quick nap in our car at Dawson Falls Visitor Centre, we did even more walking to see Dawson Falls itself, an 18m high waterfall at Egmont National Park.
