2014 Second tramp in New Zealand, Mount Taranaki

January 2014

Another beautiful trek around the second highest mountain of New Zealand’s North Island: the Around the Mountain Circuit in Taranaki National Park. I circumambulated Mt. Taranaki in four days and saw all faces of it – both its slopes and weatherwise. On the fifth day I climbed to the summit, by far the most spectacular day of this tramp.
