Sleeping in and enjoying a hearty breakfast, we hopped back in the car to explore the national park the easy way. There is nearly no civilization within the park, just many walks and hikes, and a tiny ski town at the top of Mount Ruapehu, our first stop. This volcano is snow-covered year round, and is one of NZ’s top skiing destinations, with its most recent eruption in 1995. We drove to the car park at the base, and took in the expansive views. Just a chill-out day spent at the lodge in front of the fire!
Kiwi bird crossing! (We didn't see any)
