New Zealand The Pinnacles, Coromandel Peninsula
Coromandel is known for its dense vegetation and high humidity, which makes many tropical plants bloom and turns the paths along the walk into a dense crisp green.
The Pinnacles is the top of it with great views in this lush green forest and all the way to the ocean.

Photography Tips
Use a person for scale and please her / him right under the sun for a nice leading line. Wait until sunset. It is less crowded and worth it.
Travel Information
This 13,8 km out-and-back trail with 771 meter of elevation is a moderate hike and requires a medium level of fitness. Well maintained sections can sometimes be slippery, if there was rain the previous day or during the day.
The last 200 meters is a bit more difficult, cause you have some ladders for steeper sections.
You also can stay in the Pinnacle Hut, wich is the biggest in New Zealand with 80 bunk. You need to reserve the hut before you go. The department of conversation as a professional homepage with all important informations: https://www.doc.govt.nz/
