Shortly after leaving Wanganui we spotted the imposing Mount Taranaki.
This was our next destination.
Arrived in Egmont National Park and enjoyed our lunch before setting off up the Holly Hut Path towards the summit.
Taranaki itself is a dormant volcano that resembles Japan's Mt. Fuji and dominates the province. Experts say it's long overdue for another eruption. Luckily it wasn't today!
A very steep walk starting from North Egmont Visitor Information Centre- about 2 hour return taking us 1200m up the face of the mountain. Took some fab photos.
On our return we enjoyed a wander around the displays at the Visitors Centre.
We then drove to New Plymouth.
