Hiking

From the lookout you have a good view of Mount Taranaki (2518 meters).
Unfortunately he didn't want to show himself to us that day.

Hiking

To be honest the entire Pouakai Crossing is so scenic with picture motives around every single corner. Don’t focus on specific photo spots or view points and rather take in the moment and capture your own pictures along the way 👍🏼
