More and more Kiwis are taking a hike, with 60% of visitors to our Great Walks made up of New Zealanders last summer.
The Department of Conservation's latest visitor insights report shows 60 thousand people walked one of the trails.
International visitor numbers last summer were back to 93% of pre-Covid levels, with more than 50% heading to a national park during their stay.
Federated Mountain Clubs President Megan Dimozantos told Ryan Bridge this isn't a surprise.
She says we live in such a beautiful country, so why not get out in it?
