Mount Ruapehu

Mount Ruapehu, or just Ruapehu, is an active stratovolcano at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand. It is 23 kilometres northeast of Ohakune and 40 kilometres southwest of the southern shore of Lake Taupo, within Tongariro National Park. The North Island's major skifields and only glaciers are on its slopes.

Ruapehu, the largest active volcano in New Zealand, is the highest point in the North Island and has three major peaks: Tahurangi (2,797 m), Te Heuheu (2,755 m) and Paretetaitonga (2,751 m). The deep, active crater is between the peaks and fills with a crater lake between major eruptions.


I used Diane Ross to plan a trip to NYC.

Wanted to thank her for organizing our trip. We had a wonderful time and everything went off perfectly. Our seats at the shows were just great, dinner at The Tavern on The Green was wonderful and the Tour of Lights was so worth it. Having the shuttle was extremely helpful. We did the boat tour around the Statue of Liberty and enjoyed that very much. The trip was a success and in a huge part was due to her. Without Diane's assistance our trip would not have been so enjoyable.
