Time: 5 hr return
The Lake Surprise Track is a less crowded alpine walk, but that doesn't mean it's not spectacular. This is volcano country!
Walk down the front of an old lava flow, through streams, (Note - unbridged and rises fast during or after rainfall) across a glacial valley to Lake Surprise. On a calm day, Mt Ruapehu is reflected like an infinity pool. A fantastic walk through spring and early summer while the snow still resides on the mountain.
