State Highway 48 is one of New Zealand's shortest State Highways. It provides access to Whakapapa skifield on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu. It is roughly 7 km long and, with the exception of the junction with SH 47, it lies entirely within Tongariro National Park.

Route

The highway commences at a junction with SH 47 9 kilometres east of National Park. It climbs rapidly, following the route of the young Whakapapa River, a tributary of the Whanganui. The highway terminates at Whakapapa Village, from where an unclassified road winds the further 6 kilometres up the slopes to the skifield.
