If you're lucky you'll see Mt Taranaki standing proudly above New Plymouth, but he often hides behind the clouds. Easiest way to visit the mountain is by driving up to the Egmont Visitor's Centre (turn off from Egmont Village). There are some good displays, a cafe and information centre, and some good short walks start from here. Note that the mountain is not to betaken lightly. Do not attempt a longer walk without preparation, suitable equipment, and advising someone of your intentions.

The jewel in the crown. Mt Taranaki is a local treasure. Plenty to see and do on the maunga, whether it’s a summit walk, day walks or overnighter in one of the many huts located around the mountain, this is a very special place to visit. Remember to always check the weather conditions and let someone know your plans. Conditions change quickly on the mountain but the staff at the information centres are very helpful and happy to give advice.

If the weather is good, a trip up to the National Park is a must do. There's plenty of short trails and the wonderful Pouakai Crossing if you have time. Just make sure you're prepared for changeable weather.

Egmont National Park encompasses the huge volcano Taranaki and offers lush waterfalls, rainforests and mossy swamps.
