Rainbow Mountain in New Zealand

[DougZ]

My Wife & I finally made the 1.5 hour (each way) hike up Rainbow Mountain, which sits
on the main road between Rotorua & Taupo in the North Island of New Zealand.
Here are a few photos from the top:

Thank you all - as long as you keep encouraging me, I'll keep taking & posting them!!
David: It's named Rainbow Mountain due to it being an active volcano & one side of it that has no flora growing is (supposedly) multi-coloured - hence the Rainbow name.
In truth, it doesn't look like that to me, it looks like a muddy shade of red & certainly not worthy of posting here.

Cheers,
Doug
