So have you ever thought of hiking Te Araroa since you are in love with NZ...? Quite a lot go straight from the PCT to TA as the timings for the trail work with each other well being in different hemispheres.
If you have thought of it and are undecided then definitely do it, it is still relatively new in terms of trails and is always changing as permissions keep being granted by land owners.
I hiked Te Araroa in 2017/2018 after I missed my pass for the PCT, the annoyance of missing out on the PCT was quickly dimished by thru hiking NZ..! It is definitely in my top hikes....

Awesome! I'm doing a two week trip in March... flying into Queenstown and driving to Auckland. I've definitely saved these ideas for further planning.

[@ArielleShipe]

Ahh have the best time!

You always have the best background music. I found a great song that we used . Goggle song Home. I think you will love it. Appalachian Adventures Guides. 9 LIVES 🐾

[@ArielleShipe]

Aww thank you! I'll check it out :)

[@scotttan6377]

You were totally in your element Arielle ! Anyone can see that the natural wonders is your " Disneyland " . Were there any pesky , creepy insect encounters ?

Did a circumnavigation of South Island on a motorcycle. Memorable places Queenstown rode to far end of lake ate super at the bank in a vault. Invercargill with ride on beach and The Worlds Fastest Indian museum. The wineries up by Nelson. Franz Josef remind me of Switzerland. Dunedin wish I had gone to college there. Christchurch with its River district. Loved everyday as we were on the coast and a few hours later in the mountains. Not a place for a novice rider however. If it wasn’t such a tortuous plane trip I’d go back. Hope all is well with you and Sam. Did you catch Nan and Corey there.

That looks like a fun adventure. Could a Te Araroa Trail hike be in your future?

[@anitamckenzie4895]

Happy Thanksgiving !!

[@ArielleShipe]

Aww you too!

[@Andy_M986]

Next time,check out the fly by wire in that area, you won't regret it.

[@Shannon-en4tt]

Do you have a Spotify playlist? I adore all of the songs you use

[@kristymoore7052]

Wow, PCT and then this? I’m def not in your tax bracket.

[@goonbuggy1135]

Youll be tree planting before you know it.
