About the Book

What lies off-track in Tongariro National Park? This engrossing book contains stories of ghosts, fires, avalanches, plane wrecks, sly grogging, secret spots and more from around Ngauruhoe, Tongariro and Ruapehu - a place of wild and chaotic grandeur. This well-illustrated and lively exploration of the history of Ruapehu is told by a self-confessed 'Ruapehu addict' who has an uncanny talent for persuading a cast of great characters to join her on her explorations and investigations. With over 200 historic and present-day images and 25 maps, it's a must-have for all who love skiing, climbing and tramping around this mighty mountain.
