Tongariro National Park















On our fifth day, we headed to Tongariro National Park. John wanted to climb Mount Doom and I wanted to see a World Heritage Site. Upon arrival into the National Park village, we got information about the crossing and hikes in the park. It was raining and mid afternoon, so we decided to do one of the shorter hikes, the Silica Valley hike. While on the hike, it was sunny, rainy, and even hailing! The weather really changes quickly in New Zealand.

Because it was raining, all these pictures were taken by both of us with John's Nikon 7900 instead of my D70. This helped his picture count and helped lower mine ever so slightly...
