Te Araroa: trail angels exist

Send us a text

People show up right when the Blissful Hiker needs them in Northland, New Zealand on the Te Araroa trail, making her believe trail angels do indeed exist.


In this episode:

1. The Blissful Hiker walks into the song-filled Russell Forest on the Papakauti Stream-as-trail.
2. She swims in a refreshing pool with a friend and feels baptized in its refreshing coolness.
3. She doesn't skip the road and ends up in splendid Helena Bay, where two local trail angels take her in.
4. The walk gets much harder on "advanced tramping track" through the Morepork and Onekainga tracks.
5. She camps with another fellow hiker next to the Whananaki estuary and falls asleep knowing she will never pass this way again, so best to stay alert, present and fully alive where she is.
