The first couple of days we spent checking out the Volcanoes south of Lake Taupo. It is a beautiful, scenic area with amazing geology, and it is not your typical NZ green pastures and forest. The Mts. get over 2000 meters, with Ruapehu being the highest. There is even a ski resort here. Long hikes or tramps here involve paying to use huts, and the major one in the area, hell on the North island is called the Tongariro crossing, which traverses the pass between Ngaharohe (g is silent) and Ruapehu.

Hike we did on the side of a Mt. Tongariro. Beautiful.
From the side of the Mountain looking downhill. A very popular through hike, as we saw lots of people..."How you goin'?"
