Between the trout town of Turangi and the army town of Waiouru, State Highway 1 sweeps through a windswept tussock plain known as the Rangipo Desert. This arid, semi-alpine area borders the eastern side of Tongariro National Park, where the volcanoes of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu reign supreme.
