INSANE Tongariro Alpine Crossing Trek! 🌋 | Climbing THE REAL Mount Doom From LOTR
Channel: Braden and Taylor
Date: 2019-12-14

Tongariro Alpine Crossing Trek is continually ranked as one of the Top 10 Day Hikes In The World, and for good reason. Averaging about 8 hours depending on speed and level of physical endurance, the trek features everything from active volcanos, geothermal pools and sulfur steam vents to natural streams and lush rainforests. More famously, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is known as the home of the real-life filming location of The Lord of The Rings’ iconic Mount Doom, where Frodo and Sam destroyed the ring in the boiling lava. Spoiler alert: the real Mount Doom, known by its traditional Maori name Mount Ngauruhoe, doesn’t currently have any lava or fire balls, but tracing the Hobbit’s footsteps up its slopes is plenty exhilarating. Our adventure through Middle Earth is just heating up.

Hi friends! We’re Braden & Taylor, a newlywed couple from California living with a BAD case of the travel bug. In Fall 2018, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and packed two tiny suitcases to find out what it truly means to live life to the fullest. First and foremost, we vlog for ourselves — our channel is a living picture book of the memories we collect over the next months and years around the globe, traveling to over 60 countries by 2020. If there’s a place we haven’t been, it’s on our list!

Secondly, we document our life on the road for family, friends and strangers alike — if our videos help pass on the travel influenza, then we’ve done our job. 😄 We don’t know where this trip will take us, but we promise to ourselves and to you that we will always present both the beautiful and the ugly, because no trip is perfect, and neither is our world. Don’t be shy — send us a shout out when we’re in your area, and be sure to subscribe + hit the bell to be notified of future videos!
