A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of 'wild nature' for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined "National Park" as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people", Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a "national park" in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. The first area to use "national park" in its creation legislation was the US's Mackinac Island, in 1875. Australia's Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world's third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result, Australia's Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.

Tongariro National Park is the oldest national park in New Zealand,[1] located in the central North Island. It has been acknowledged by UNESCO as one of the 28 mixed cultural and natural World Heritage Sites. Tongariro National Park was the fourth national park established in the world.[1] The active volcanic mountains Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro are located in the centre of the park There are a number of Māori religious sites within the park and the summits of Tongariro, including Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu, are tapu (sacred). The park includes many towns around its boundary including Ohakune, Waiouru, Horopito, Pokaka, Erua, National Park Village, Whakapapa skifield and Turangi.
In 1993 Tongariro became the first property to be inscribed on the World Heritage List under the revised criteria describing cultural landscapes. The mountains at the heart of the park have cultural and religious significance for the Maori people and symbolize the spiritual links between this community and its environment. The park has active and extinct volcanoes, a diverse range of ecosystems and some spectacular landscapes. Source: UNESCO TV / © NHK Nippon Hoso Kyokai URL: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/421/
About a thousand years ago the forefathers of the Maori discovered the present day New Zealand, the Northern as well as the Southern Island. They called it Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud. New Zealand has one of the largest volcanic areas in the world. The volcanic plateau on the Northern Island is part of the ring of fire around the Pacific. Tongariro National park is located here. The thermal valleys with its geysers, wells and coloured puddles are always in motion. The earth is literally evaporating here. Tongariro, Waimangu, Rotorua, Taupo, are just a few names where the fluid core of the earth is always present. The west side of Tongariro lies in the shadow of mountains and has a genuine desert climate. It is called Rangipo Desert. The tussock grasses cause a kind of dune...

Trucking through to Palmy from Hamilton when Desert road was snowed in.
Stopping on the way down the North Island. We started the walk from Whakahake Village. The route was a hour and half loop and half way you come across the Taranaki Falls. The walk at first was great. Well sign posted and informative, crossing the landscape to the valley where you find the waterfalls. The first fall you find is cascades, when you cross over the bridge. Shortly after you find Taranaki Falls. Impressive falls, crashing down. After the falls you walk up behind the top of falls and back over another bridge. At this point we were hit by snow storm, where was not to nice. But the walk continues back to Whakahake village and was very easy to follow.
