HI Hivers!
This was an amazing adventure. Dawson Falls, located at the southern side of Mt Taranaki, there’s a whole new world of walks! Goblin forests and waterfalls a plenty! This is the largest waterfall in the area (that I know of) and it sure is beautiful :) the clear pools continue to cascade down until they reach the sea.
It was a very misty day, but I had the whole national park to myself! Walking for hours and only really seeing a handful of people all day. A very beautiful place :)
These cascading waterfalls eventually end up down at Dawson falls, Here you can hike up and up all of these many falls and pools. I only went to a certain height as I was alone and didn’t think anyone else was in the park - I didn’t see anyone for about 3 hours which was crazy! However halfway up a mountain in misty conditions, I had to be sensible and start descending from this point :) safety first everyone!
Here is from a viewpoint up top! It was a great hike :) I loved viewing from this angle. The weather was cool and very misty... this is quite low down on the mountain but you can still see how cloudy it is.
I do have videos on my YouTube of this hike, if anyone is interested in watching it let me know and I can link you :)
