>>1396213My good friend studied abroad in NZ during college. Him and some other exchange students all bought a van and explored on every break.
I can't give any logistical advice but I do know they went to some really heavy wilderness with it and did a bunch of backpacking.
Just look into trailhead parking fees, can't be more than fees in the US. Who cares if there are other people, they are all probably really nice. I love meeting people out.
>>1394356Wow. You have got this down pat. But compared to backpacking don't you get bored of just sitting in the same spot though? For me, if the sun is out while I am on a trip then I am moving.
