Mt Taranaki
The intense early morning sun rises from behind the 2518m high majestic Mt Taranaki. In the Maori language Taranaki means ‘Gliding Peak', a name that ties it to the legend of how it came to be in its current location. Unrequited love saw Taranaki move from the central plateau, carving the Whanganui River in the process and filling the channel with his tears. The snowy cone of Mount Taranaki is a focal point for all kinds of adventure: Hike to the top of Mount Taranaki with a professional guide. Organised summit climbs run throughout February. Drive the heritage trail around Mount Taranaki. The trail can be driven in two hours, or you can spread it over a day. In winter (June-August) visitors can ski the slopes of the Manganui ski field, which has ski hire available. |
