Nihahi Ridge
12km 845m elevation gain
The 1st 2-3km of this hike are deceiving. It’s pretty flat getting to the mountainside, but once you’re there it’s mostly steady elevation gain and it gets very steep at the top, including some scrambling.
The slope down is pretty intense, poles are definitely recommended for the decent.
We didn’t transverse the ridge once we reached the top because it goes on for quite some distance and the stunning views are basically the same along.
It was a little smokey, but still gorgeous and totally worth my tired legs & weirdly sore toes!
