Bright and early we are up and at the trailhead. The weatherman said the weather was not going to be with us but we woke to clear skies...yeh! We dropped off Deep Purple at the end of the track and took a shuddle to the trailhead which was a good idea because she would be ready to take us back to camp when we finished our 19.4 km trek through a pass between two volcanoes in just under 7 hours. Lots of time for pictures and snacks.
What's to think about??? Blue sky and happy feet, just don't think about the fact that one of the volcanoes last blew in 2010!
A picturesque view of the crossing between Mt Ngauruhoe, in the background, and Mt Tongariro. We had just finished crossing the plain below and were beginning the slug up Mt Tongariro.
Yeh, I know!!! We live on the edge;)
Ken starts the desent down to the "Emerald and Blue Lakes".
The steam still rises from the volcanoes as we continued our decent. Lake Taupo in the background and lots of blue sky. What a day!
