Ngauruhoe, our destination

The mountain is an active volcano. A computerized version was used in the Lord of the Rings movies to represent Mt. Doom. The trail leads up towards the left, and most people descend in the white streak, very loose pumice-like material. We left the Tongariro Crossing trail at this point.
