If you're lucky you'll see Mt Taranaki standing proudly above New Plymouth, but he often hides behind the clouds. Easiest way to visit the mountain is by driving up to the Egmont Visitor's Centre (turn off from Egmont Village). There are some good displays, a cafe and information centre, and some good short walks start from here. Note that the mountain is not to betaken lightly. Do not attempt a longer walk without preparation, suitable equipment, and advising someone of your intentions.
