Preview - Mt. Taranaki

Coming soon, at the snail's pace that we are keeping up with this blog, our adventure from this weekend. Lynda and Bayne tramp Mt. Taranaki. East Egmont - Dawson Falls Loop, 4-5 hours on a beautiful day! And cross over the highest swing bridge in Egmont National Park - only one person on at a time. Have to admit Dad took a little while to get up the courage, but made it. Mom volunteered to stand out in the middle and take a bunch of pictures. Brrrrrrrrrrr!

Wow!!!!! That is such a great looking mountain! I can't wait to get there.

No wonder Lord of the Rings filmed everything in NZ- it's beautiful!

You are exactly right! It's hard to believe they could have filmed anywhere else. In fact, it's hard to believe that Tolkien and half of all computer game makers didn't come from New Zealand. That bridge was scary to me, like the Toronto tower, but I did it.
