About
Welcome to NZ Backcountry Miles — your honest guide to hiking, trail running, camping, and skiing across New Zealand. I explore epic trails, both popular and off the beaten track.
From ultra marathons and trail races to multi-day hut trips and mountain challenges, I share real trail beta and genuine backcountry experiences. No hype. No filters. Just the raw experience.
Whether you're chasing multi-day adventures, breathtaking views, or just love the outdoors — this is your spot to get inspired, prepared, and ready to hit the trails.
Guided Trips
I offer day and overnight hike trips around the upper North Island, departing from Auckland. Whether you want a same-day adventure or a night in the backcountry, I'll take you somewhere special.
Same-day departures from Auckland. Return by evening. Perfect introduction to some of the North Island's best trails and viewpoints.
Spend a night in a DOC hut. Experience the backcountry properly — the golden hour, starry skies, and morning light on the ranges.
