The Tongariro Alpine Crossing is one of the best day hikes in the world. It's longer and harder than it seems, but worth it. The elevation is significant and you need Water and food because it will take all day, especially if you stop for pictures and rest. Do not underestimate the hike. It seems easier for most of the hike because the trail is so well maintained. The Views of Mt Doom from The Lord of the Rings are Amazing. By the way, the Blue Lake is only half way and after that, it's a long way home with tired and hot feet.
