contains 3 prominent active volcanoes that are situated in a desert like landscape. The area gets regular snowfalls in the winter and is home to most of the ski fields in the North Island.
Mt Ruapehu the largest volcano last erupted in 1995 and 1996. A conical volcano called Mt Ngauruhoe located next to Ruapehu is the location for the famous Tongariro Crossing.
This walk is a tough one day trek that comes highly recommended, as it shows off the best that this park has on offer. At one time, National Geographic even classed this walk as one of the top 10 one day walks in the world. Tongariro National Park is situated in the Taupo region.
