The iconic and beloved Tongariro Alpine Crossing will reopen at 9 am on Monday 17 November after a devastating fire ripped through the Tongariro National Park.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) continues to lead the response to the fire in Tongariro National Park, with Fire and Emergency New Zealand in support.
DOC rangers on the West Coast have been busy clearing tracks after storms in late October tore through the region, and more damage is still being found.
Rain overnight (12/13 November) has continued to dampen down the fire impacted land with more rain predicted for Thursday and Friday.
