Story

Le parc national d'Egmont est situé au sud de New Plymouth, près de la côte ouest de l'île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande.
Il est nommé en honneur de la montagne qui le domine, lui-même nommé par le capitaine James Cook en honneur de John Perceval, second comte d'Egmont, le premier Lord Commissioner de l'Amirauté, qui promut le premier voyage de Cook. Son nom māori est Taranaki ; depuis quelques années le nom officiel de la montagne est « Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont ».
Le parc, fondé en 1900, est dominé par le volcan dormant du mont Taranaki/Egmont. Il reçoit des précipitations en moyenne annuelle assez abondantes, essentiellement d'origine orographique parce que les vents humides de l'ouest frappent le Taranaki, ainsi que les monts Pouakai et Kaitake voisins, et sont ainsi contraints de s'élever. En altitude, les masses d'air se refroidissent et atteignent leur point de saturation, donnant ainsi des précipitations.
En raison de ces précipitations abondantes et de la douceur du climat côtier, une forêt tempérée humide recouvre la région. Cette forêt est connue pour sa totale absence de Nothofagus.

Very nice place for hikes etc.. the views are amazing.
Beautiful but bit hard to go with kids. We love the the place. Very cold : Make sure you have proper gear.
Good, must visit.
Worthwhile trip on a fine day to get the views, lovely lodge on way up, lovely lunch.
Walked in a short distance from the enf of Mangorei Road. Great.
very nice view from the mountain. we was there to hike to the top. but the weather changed and its was not possible to did that. but i will come back to hike it. ;
Great huts and the tracks which we did were in amazing condition without being highways. Such a diverse array of ecosystems in the park too.
If you can find a day without cloud then the views are amazing, shortly worth climbing a few steps. Lots of different tracks to suit all people.
One of New Zealand's hidden treasures .
